R53 Motor swap

I have an opportunity to buy an automatic 06 s with only 60k for $2,000. I was considering buying this if I can Swap the engine with my manual 06 that has 257k. It also has hid and really clean tail lights as an added bonus. My question is would I run into any issues with the swap? I appreciate any input.
