I have myself swapped transmissions, engines, differentials, on a few different BMWs and haven't had issues before as have some of my friends. And I know that this is very "viable". It's very viable considering that there already is a 3.0l manual version of the e53.
All the Mechanical parts and control modules already exist for the e53 so unless you want to do something really different, there shouldn't be any issues. I've pretty much decided to convert my 4.4l X5 to a dedicated rwd 6speed manual using the e39 540i trans.
