Yes, it'll fit fine. It's an expensive swap even if you get all the parts cheap because the ECU has to be flashed.

Make sure its a 3.0l M54, otherwise its pointless till the price of ECU flashing comes down.

I can do the ecu for u, and the loom should u need it!

Other then the ecu the swap is similar to the other M5* swaps. Your exhaust will be the highest cost.

The M54 is quite an nice swap imo!

Pm me if you'd like to chat further!!!

Cue plenty of jokes referencing the "viewing from behind" theme now that you've said that. :lol:
