"Yes, you can" (sounds very well known, no?), but it will be too expensive!
Beside the gear box you have to change allot of parts.
Better sale the car and buy one with automatic!
But the fun will never be the same ... no offense for automatic gear box lover!
It will cost between $1500 and $3000 to change your automatic transmission to a manual transmission. The price is dependent upon the type of manual transmission.
In order to check the transmission fluid on a 2000 BMW 323i, you must first determine whether the transmission is manual or automatic. If it's automatic, it's not suggested that you change it yourself. If it's manual, you should look in the user's manual for instructions.

It matters on what engine and transmission you are going to be using,lets say you are getting the same engine just manual tranny that along is about $1700 plus labor your looking at minimum of $2700 close to $3000 if you do not do it yourself.

2001 BMW X5 3.0i and 4.4i Automatic Transmission fluid Check or Change?To check the Automatic transmission fluid on the 2001 BMW X5 3.0i model, there is simply no dipstick to look for. Answer: The owner's manual for the 2001 BMW X5 3.0i and the X5 4.4i will discuss this in very limited wording in regards to the Automatic Transmission fluid of this particular model found in the main topic heading, "Technical Data" page 13 and subtopic, "Capacities" also on page 13 of the Table of Contents which leads to page 209 of the manual, which tables the list of fluids to include "Manual and automatic transmission, transfer box and differential". This model comes with a "Lifetime Fluid" thus there is no need to check fluid level, and/or change the fluid. The Transmission is sealed. Check with your local maintenance personnel to further substantiate this answer. I found it healthy to frequently ask my "Jiffy Lube" oil changers questions in reference to my 2001 BMW X 5 series vehicle, and have received some money saving answers.Read more: How_do_you_check_transmission_fluid_on_BMW_x5
