Something I've not really thought about but is it as simple as swap the engine and box complete with ECU and auto ECU (in the boot)

I presume the prop is different and I might want to change the diff also. The switch for switchable auto also I assume.

But is it plug and play like swapping manual conversions?

I've got the 325 running gear

thanks

In a word, yes. Just note carefully how the loom fits when removing it from the 325.

C101 pin 20 wiring warning applies.
