how reliable is a rebuilt BMW engine? (archive)

HEllo,
I'm looking at a 3.0 CS as my next car ... the two that are listed in the classifieds in my area both have rebuilt engines. I was wondering if such engines are usually reliable? (Of course, there are many things that could go wrong if the job isn't done right, but if it is.. is it nearly as good as a new BMW engine?)
Thanks...and one quick question .. is there any older (pre 90s) BMW model that has a hatchback?
