There is currently one on ebay (UK seller) for £175 which is alleged to have done a reasonable 83,000 miles. I expect he will want more for the ancillaries

I have a 2000 Z3 1.9 which I am breaking.

The car has 77k on the clock. Can be seen running and is in good order.

All pre face lift 1.9 cars are M44b engine with a 140 bhp which was also used in the E36 318is the late model 1.9 where 118 bhp M43
The M44b is only 10 bhp less than the 2.0 straight 6 but is much lighter and can easier be tweaked to 160 bhp
