S54? I've seen an S85 going in...

Pretty difficult due to drive by wire.

Why difficult? An M70 is drive by wire as well.

Because it has alot more ecuÃ‚´s with it, security issuse and integration to the car itself.
for instance all the various buttons that change modes and shifting speeds along with integration with the drivetrain
in respect to launch control and traction control and all in all a big CAN bus system

But if one has a complete car then removing everything and finding space in the E30 is the "only" wiring problem.

E46 M3 has gone in - great thread on it in a US site that was also linked here somewhere...
