Fixed that for you. 
No, the M54 cars are okay in 6spd but definitely not in auto. My wife's X3 is M54 powered and it weighs considerably less. She feels uneasy driving it in certain conditions due to the lack of ooomph.
Personally, I couldn't own an X5 with less than 8 cylinders. Maintenance and cost may be higher... but so is the enjoyment factor. All of the above is of course IMHO.
