It's wiser to update as many things as you can while it's not swapped in.
My X is losing coolant like crazy from rear coolant manifold area,so I am at valley pan job right now.It could've been done 45,000 kms ago when engine was sitting outside with no intake manifold nor water pump etc.
But,my mechanic didn't bother...and here we are now...

I read that same article on wikipedia about the engine being the "same" but was unsure. Kind of how the m20 is the "same" between an e30 325i and an e30 325ix. Since you mentioned a 540i engine in yours that gives me confidence it will work.
