Thanks RRPhil.
I was wondering about the swap due to the heavy towing duty my X sees (hard on the TC/friction discs). I guess the higher RPM/lock up characteristics of the 4.6is unit would not do well with the 4.4 M62.

Check the front drive shaft splines for rust and wear. Pack thoroughly with a marine grade, water-resistant grease on reassembly.

RRPhil,
Can you do a rebuild and a higher stall convertor like IPT offers?

Never rebuild a BMW Tranny at a local shop
My 2004 X5 3.0 trans went at 80K, the coolant valve from the radiator to the trans cooler froze and cooked the oil. Didn't know til it failed and the trans oil was BLACK.
I called a local rebuilder (PCT) in Wayne NJ who said they could get a rebuilt for $2,500 and I jumped at it. Bait and switch. Let me fume for a week and then said they couldnt get it and had to rebuild. I let them....UGH - BAD job! Failed in 10 mos due to substandard parts. Redone. Failed AGAIN a year after their warranty expired. NO, not letting you rebuild again. I got a used (supposedly 70K Mi) from LKQ in NYC for $2K + labor and it's been fine for 60K more. If you're not getting a professionally rebuilt, get a good used. When they put the 2nd trans in, they still didn't replace that valve. I had it done with a thermostat, only to find out it was bad all along.
