R56 sunroof on a R53

Anyone know if the R56 Duel Tilt Sunroof with fit in an R53?? Not only do I want the duel tilt feature, I want the cool toggle switch controls for it rather then what I have for my sunroof.

Oh by the way, I'm thinking about replacing my sunroof for an r56 one cause I mine is broken and needs replacing anyways.

Any info is appreciated!

With enough time and money you can do anything...

However, it will probably be a massive headache and I would just suggest sticking with it the way it is.

What about that switch swap? Still possible? That's a cool idea.

Well the switch swap is possible but still would be a pain - different shapes and mounting.

Also, not all of the switches match up. I.e. 2nd gens have color-changing interior lighting so that switch would have to be changed to another option or just be a dead switch. Also the map lights are different.
