Thinking of Rebuilding an M54B30 Myself

My 325i Wagon's engine is on the way out. I am thinking that it might be fun to rebuild an M54 myself. I have never rebuilt an engine before and am trying to decide if this is a good idea for me to try it.



If I do it I will put together I high performance engine build.

In the past I have done the following projects myself.

Vanos seals and rattle rebuild

Replaced the Oil Filter Housing and build an oil cooler system

Water pump

Thermostat

Zionsville Radiator and ET

R&R'ed intake manifold

CDV delete

I do all my own maintenance.



If I did it I would get the Haynes and Bentley manuals. And I know of a good machine shop that is experienced with BMW engines. I would go slow and be meticulous. Also my plan was to rebuild a junk yard engine and swap once I am done. So I would feel no rush for time.



So from this does it seem reasonable or does it seem like a bad idea for someone who has never rebuilt an engine to attempt a performance engine rebuild?



Thanks,
