Get a e34 540i. V8 engine and RWD, think they are around 270bhp. I have its little and more sport brother the 530i again a v8. Both amazing to drive and great car for the money.

Yeh it was only made for one year im sure. 1995. It was a replacement of the 535i. Same power @ 220 and 290NM.
Im not sure if all the 530i's have the m tech susspention but mine does. And leather and TC. Not bad for Ł1300.

Calibra Turbo, 204bhp standard (although very few are standard), 4x4, leather, full leccys, air con and very well built with decent mpg. Not many cars have all this for around Ł2k.

You MAY be able to find a Cav Turbo for around that if you look hard enough.
