Default Motor choice

Being out of the USA has provided some unique challenges from me. I am having trouble getting a kit imported and was thinking about undertaking a scratch build, I can get a body locally if worse comes to worse but motor and trans are problem, when thinking about the usual choices. However, today I looked a beautiful 1996 BMW 530i with a 3 litre V-8 and auto transmission. The car is complete, never in an accident and runs like a top. Any one out there on this site ever put a Beemer V-8 in a Cobra? Should I duck now before the usual insults are hurled?
