If the block is obd2 and you still have the OE harness from the e46 motor you can make it work. Just need the crank for the tach by using the rear crank sensor mount and water temp sensor for water. You can cut the harness down to bare essentials to make it cleaner. The issue is the e46 are all run on can bus. In the engine swap sub forum there is a guy that makes a converter box, is the other option
