Bmwe5320023.0 is on a distinguished road
Looking up some stuff on realoem

So the front subframe and control arms seem to all be the same for 3.0, 4.4, 4.6 which is nice, compared to E39, where the whole sunframes are different.

For 4.6, it uses a newer transfer case, while pre LCI 4.4 still uses NV125, the same i have in my 3.0 2002.

Interestingly, both front and rear driveshafts for both 3.0, 4.4 and 4.6 are the same

The diffs on 3.0 are 4.1 ratio, on 4.4 they're 3.64 ratio, and on 4.6 they're 3.91 ratio.

So far it seems the swap wouldn't be too bad.

Either 4.4 or 4.6, if it comes in a combo of engine/transmission, transfer case, would be a pretty easy swap.

I'm not sure if 4.4 will for properly in 3.0

I'm a bit confused why engine mounts are different between M54 and M62 etc.?
