I suggest you break it down into bite-sized stages or areas of focus starting with the most urgent areas. e.g. engine, drivetrain, suspension. get those sorted first one by one. take your time with it, do research, learn about the area. it will help you troubleshoot in the future.  after that, go into electricals (non engine related) and cosmetics.to be honest, it will take a while to get it up to where you want it to be. you have a good base, but with anything that's over 20 years old, performance needs some coaxing initially.lastly, parts are not as scarce as you think they are....jalan ipoh has a whole host of bmw stockists that carry most of what you need. if they don't stock it, they can easily bring it in for you. if you're adventurous, you can try chop shops. hope this helps.</blockquote>
