You"ll spend more on the process than swapping cars.
The car is actually a six speed funny enough. I might be the only nut job wanting to DCT an N52. Ive seen some pretty intense DCT swaps from e9x M3 onto 1JZ, M50/52, and other bmw and non-bmw engines.

I would think its possible if they can do it, and I would even be the same chassis generation being the DCT coming from a 1 and going into another 1.
