Phamster nailed it.

The labor is the same for any six swap, just the fine details will be different (and not much).

If you decide to do the swap, try to find a 1996-99 M3 for a donor car, as they are all OBD-II and therefore more compatible with one another.

In any OBD-II swap, the dealer is required for the EWS/DME alignment- no way around that (legally)...

Also, if you are in some states (CA and ME I think and maybe others) the engine (if replaced) has to be newer or the same year as the car, older is illegal...
