M3 swap into E46 330ci, help finding M3 Engine?

I ultra rich dumb friend blew his 330ci engine after redlining then downshifting by mistake, anyone know a good site or someplace to find an m3 engine, he specifically wants the new one, E46.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

If you can fit the M5 V8 into an M Coupe, you can for sure get the engine in....
Try www.e46fanatics.com , those guys might know where to get one.

ok thanks guys, yea it is expensive, the dealership quoted him $25K CDN alone for the engine, but he's kinda dumb and I guess money is not a limit for him
