I'm Not unfamiliar with the s50 motor, as far as the P8's capabilities it can do sequential up to 8 cylinders if you want it to. You need to check the crank trigger pattern, the P8 is not a universal fit, likewise the cam sensor. It can also only run 1 variable camshaft.

You will find a map in the S series software, I don't think you can open that in the DTAwin for P8 however, but could copy settings over. I'm not sure if P8 can do VANOS.
Just stick to basics and just familiarise yourself from the beginning with crank trigger etc
