Cost to swap in an s85

I am wondering if any more technical car builders could chime in with the possibility of swapping in an s85 into our cars with the dct. First question is could a s85 be mated to a dct without a problem? Given smg is also 7 gears, I would think the tuning would be a bit easier to make them work together.

Obviously one big cost is the engine which is a given. But besides that, how much extra electronics and tuning would be required if you could also get an M5 ecu to run the engine?

Is this quite possible if you are willing to spend say 25k? or 35k? What would be the big issues making this the most difficult?

Obviously suspension would have to be tweaked for the weight etc which I understand.

I feel this would be the best car of all-time. A 505 hp v10 in the shell of an M3. Is on my too do project list in the next few years if I learn its actual feasible
