Hi,

I was at a BMW mechanic the other day and they had an M50 e30 with the 6 speed E46 330i gearbox in there, so yes it can be done.

They were very secretive about the parts used as they wanted me to get them to convert it for many $$ so I cannot tell you any parts they used except that it was a 330i 6 speed
