Probably need a gearbox and diff's to take that power never mind the clutch.
I wonder how long the head will last?

Last time I needed something like that I spoke to Clutch fix in Huddersfield. They make them from scratch and make racing ones so can do high temperature ones.

gearbox should be able to take at least 380 nm. The drive shafts are already heavy duty. Theoretically it probably could take it.
M51 engines are tuned up a lot on the bimmer forums. Ask @stu

You could try contacting Diesel Perfomance UK (DPUK). They're specialists in putting high torque diesel engines into interesting vehicles.
