As they say around here, anything is possible with enough money!

In all seriousness, it's possible, but not an easy feat (particularly the electronics). Check out the zero to 60 YouTube channel, he did a DCT swap on his n54 e92 and it can give you an idea of what to expect.

The DCT 7-speed dual clutch gearbox was offered (although not in the US as I understand) for LCI E92 and E93 N55 335i.
These cars also have the same gearbox:
E82/E88 135i (N55)
E92/93 335is (N54)
E89 35i and 35is (N54)

Not sure about the coding and if anything else is needed in addition to all the DCT gearbox parts.

Would definitely recommend it tho, it's such a good gearbox!

Considering this, it shouldn’t be all that hard. I’m contemplating a DCT swap in the near future. It seems to be quite “plug n’ play”. I hope.
