Theoretically I think one could mount a 6hp to an N52 from a 28i car but I think that's way more trouble than it's worth, at that point just get a manual.
It would mount up in theory but it would be a programming nightmare I think. Manual swaps however, don't need to be coded and the swap is pretty easy if you're mechanically inclined.
BMW built the early E89's with the N52,MSV80 ,ZF 6HP so they are probably software compatible. Have not really looked but it's probably a second generation 6HP so life gets really good. If you like Automatics.

There were also a number of LCI 3 series with this trans.
