E46 M3. That model had a pretty powerful engine, 320 hp naturally aspirated. No doubt you would need a bell housing adapter flange. It all gets pretty involved. Almost sounds like I’m trying to talk myself out of it.

I wonder whether the Getrag would somehow feel more authentically German than a Ford or Chevy tranny. God only knows if there would be a discernible difference that mattered.

It all seems clear now. You need to decide and choose your trans identity. Then undertake the necessary parts replacement procedures. Best of luck!
