Possibly.
Does your BMW gearbox have a removable bellhousing or is it 'all in one' ?

I don't think the 3 series has a detachable bell housing, you can in theory do it with the 7 series Getrag or a Jag Getrag.
Speak to AK in Peterborough, they make an adaptor plate to match Chevy 350's and Ford 351's to the Getrag (plus a suitable bell housing -
Lakewood or similar).
Don't know if they do one for a RV8, most people use the SD1 box.
