There was a post on bfc on the m60 to m62. I was looking into this very thing as an option when my current engine wears out.
I think the tranny swap is the same as going from auto to 6 speed regardless if it's M60 or M62.
I'll dig up the link and post.

Very do-able. I just finished my m62/6 speed swap. Now I'm just tuning the motor's goodies.

Recovering the parts from a write off, what do i need/ what can i use?
Is the pedal set and clutch cylinder the same as i am converting from auto to manual.
Do i need a new DME / control unit
