I would definitely suggest keeping an eye on craigslist and searching classifieds on other forums also.
P.S. I've recently changed from an E36 M3 due to several reoccurring problems and cost of maintenance, so that makes another BMW -> SC conversion. Got my dad's '99 SC300, which he'd had for a year and half or so and not done much with because he also had an LX470 and now has neither, but an old Porsche 944. Anyway, sorry for ranting/thread-jacking. I'll get back on topic by saying that eBay has also helped me out a lot, so if you put in the right search parameters, you should be good. Good luck!
