Well depends on how much km's they engine already run...
I'm pretty sure it was 10,000 miles. Not sure though since it's not on ebay anymore.

The strange think I heard from that guy there, is that it's a lot easier job to swap an engine on a steptronic than on a manual gearbox E60

On the e46, the E39 M5 engine swap normally takes the e39 540i gearbox. I read that it was the easiest way to make everything to work okay.
