Forget it - that is a far from simple job,never worth the cost or effort.
I agree

4.6 gearbox is ZF4HP24, diesel is ZF4HP22, torque converter is different, EAT ECU may not be the same, 24 box is longer than the 22

If you are actually serious about doing it, get e decent diesel, not a BMW pile of crap.

Well I think the BMW engine is ok, lots with starship mileage, smooth and for the time it was produced has decent power. Its a lot smoother and reliable than comparitive engines of the period, god my mates L200 with 36K and full service history is in for blown head gaskit, water pump and crank pulley and its only 6 years old, unless you mean fitting the Toyota or Nissan 4.2 engines and would not think that would be easy although one guy is doing this with a Nissan 4.2 into a classic on RR 4x4. Touch wood I have had no probs with mine and had an Omega years ago that was uber reliable.
