Why the BMW transmission?

This sounds like a hugely expensive idea.

If you're after big power and a gearbox to handle it, why not look at an LS swap with matching gearbox?
DCT swaps are the new thing right now. Though in the very VERY early stages. Still no real base maps available and little documentation, but they are extremely capable and offer just about the best experience. Manual when you want it, with fast shifts and no torque loss, while also being able to be put in to Auto mode and drive around. It's why I ditched my T56 magnum for one.
