I dont like turbos on the track, I taught I would swap S54, or I was planning putting a S52 stroker with sunbelt race cam, S50 intake in my race e30 so I could use this engine...
Thank's

What's the point? I am sure they can be made plenty fast, but why not scoop up an s54 m3? Much more aftermarket, much wider tires with stock fenders, stock LSD, etc etc.
With a blank slate and an engine swap in the plans, e36 or e46 seems like the easy button and cheaper.

I assume you mean HPDE car, not race car.
If you already have a 135i, it'll be fine. There are a few that run in my area. They are quick, and have been reliable. Their drivetrains are 100% stock. They have the usual challenge of high oil temps, but other than that, do well with suspension mods.
But....if you don't already have a 135i, what olemiss said. I'd go E46 330i or E46 M3.
With all the HPDE i do in my 335i, i see temps of 270F very fast. I have hit limp mode a couple time but that was due to a waterpump failing. However, I always turn my heater on and have it blast out of the passenger vent, it helps keep the coolant temps a little lower, typically around 99-101c vs 105+c
