EWS, key and DME SWAP

I have an e39 540i with one broken key and I believe the transponder fell out.
I also have a parts car with three working keys, could I swap over the EWS, DME, lock cylinders and keys from the donor car? (Without doing any coding)
Don’t feel like paying $300 to get a new key programmed

Does this flywheel look like it’s still good?

Replacing the clutch on my 540/6 while the engine is out, does this flywheel look like it needs to be replaced? The car was on its factory clutch at 214000 kilometres and the clutch was not slipping.

Also should I replace the rear main seal if it’s not leaking just in case or leave it alone if it’s dry?
