e46 is a new model 3 series, you're probably talking about e28, which is the mid 80s 5 series.
E30s are mid-late 80s BMW 3 series. They're great because they were designed well, are lightweight, and fun to drive. RWD, good looking car, and overall sweet car to make fast.
The M50 swap is a popular choice, which is the BMW E36 (early to mid 90s 3 series) M3 motor. you can then swap over the 5 lugs, some suspension parts, and have a very fast, very capable, and very light car.
