ZF8/ 8HP conversion?

This post is more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm seeing a lot of stuff on YouTube regarding this swap. I think the Bimmerworld guys use this trans on their 435 race car (factory). I'm trying to go full track car with my 6sp E92. While rowing the gears, and doing the heel/toe dance is enjoyable, the 6sp manual isn't great for track stuff. In comparison, the paddle shifted, 8 speed seems 'sublime'. I did a quick search and couldn't find anyone fitting this trans into our cars.
So yea, just thinking this might be a pretty legit swap.
