I'd actually consider doing it all myself, take my time etc. After a few years of ownership, plus some valuable advice and experience from others on here and other sites, I've come to the conclusion that these are not cars to be scared of - they're just the same as many other cars except prices are significantly higher! I would probably drop the engine and gearbox out together from underneath the car - did this with my E30 both times and found it simpler and more straight forward. No worrying about damaging expensive paintwork etc. either.
All depends on price really. I would be looking to keep the car, not move it on for a profit.
