Hello bro welcome to the forum..

1)My engine is the M52TUB20 (i think)< how's this engine? As your engine spec was same as mine, so i can tell that our M52 engine is a very good engine which almost the same as M54 engine too.

2)Can I install auto-lights and rain sensor on it? Yes..you can refer : http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=493341

3)Can I change the manual seats to electronic seats? Yes..refer : http://www.e46fanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348165

Good luck to you.

1) 6 cylinder. Quite decent to propel the car
2) Retrofit possible. Plenty of guides available online. Can try to google them. Wiring, programming and sourcing of RLS-compatible windscreens are not easy though.
3) Retrofit possible but involves alot of effort as wiring and programming is involved. Plenty of electric seats available for sale at chop shops.
