I have not read about such a swap. In my opinion it will be much easier and cheaper to either repair the 5HP18 or buy a remanufactured one.
On the E46 the communication system is different, sizes of the transmissions are diffrent, maybe the input and output flanges are different, so maybe you would need a tailor made driveshaft, bell housing dimensions etc.
The the control modules are different and I am not sure if a TCU of an E46 would work at all in an E34 and communicate with the DME. trans cooling lines will not fit so easy
