bearings
crank centre thrust type for early block
oil modaline
oil pump
gaskets etc soon mount up be shame not to add good pistons and rods at the same time
z4 also is the std ecu and you should have a tdo5 turbo as std

LOL at most of the above advice.

Do yourself two BIG favours, dean:
1. Find out WHY it went..........sounds like mods and no remap to me
2. Ask a respected engine builder and buy parts off him.

Otherwise you stand a good chance of rebuilding it to have it go again.
The oil modine, for example, almost ALWAYS wants replaced if bearings are sh@gged, because it's impossible to clean all the bits of swarf out, and they WILL cause problems
