Default engine swap ecu m42 to m50/s50

i have asked several people and searched m42 here and bimmerforums. The question is when dumping in an s50. As far as electronics is as simple as pulling out the m42 ecu and popping in the s50 ecu? will all cabin controls remain. Can somone please explain this in detail assuming i know as little as possible. Thank you.

the engine wiring and body wiring is separate on E36s, swapping the ECU won't affect anything on the interior
