It's possible but you have to make sure that they'll match up. I believe the older models have a bigger housing/pumpkin than the newer models. There's a list here somewhere or on E90 post that shows what year models are able to swap out. Also Harold @ HP autoworks on here knows what years can swap out, he's done so many of them.

IMO it would be dumb to swap in lower gears. With a tune and dp I already can't floor it in first gear, it would just make traction issues worse.

LSD will turn your car into a completely different animal. More useable power to the rear wheels. It's a no-brainer if you ask me. I went wavetrak and I love it
