I recently bought a 318is as a shell, but the engine and everything is still in it.  The main bearings are rattling around in there when it turns over so I assume the head is just fine.  It seemed to be good when it cranked over.  I was gonna just swap the main bearings and run it until it quite then swap it but I found a cheap m42 with less miles that I am going to use.  

Anyway, odometer stopped in 08 at 145k.  I had some records from a shop that showed it getting routine maintenance in 2010 so I would assume that it has somewhere around 200k on it.  

Make me an offer on any parts you would be interested in from the motor.
