It's a lot of work. We did an S54 into an E39 wagon, many many headaches.

Sure, but three reasons why this isn't an option for me: 1) I haven't yet driven a V8 BMW, of any variety, that felt balanced, 2) I spent a couple years wrenching BMWs professionally, and I know V8 E53s are less reliable than I6s, and most importantly, 3) No manual trans for V8 E53, and no easy remedy for swapping one.
