Get J!M's swap manual, it is good and it contains all of the information that you are looking for. This will be the most convenient way for you to get all of the information that you need to do the swap. If you don't want to do that just become very familiar with this forum because all of the information that you need is in here somewhere, but you will need to do a lot of searching to piece all together.
I just finished swapping the M42 in my 95ti for an M50tu and I would suggest buying a 93-95 325i/is or M3 to get all of the parts that you need to do the engine swap. It will be cheaper (trust me, I didn't buy a donor car but now that I'm done I wish that I did). The 95 OBD 1 cars are the easiest cars to do an engine swap on since they are literally plug and play.
