Pain in the ass, unless you want all the OBD-II stuff, poor performance, etc etc.
It would be better to find a 328is E36 and use that motor. -
M52TU in the e46, BTW. Whole different motor from the M52.Comment

The e46 started production in 9/97 as a '99 model. These e46s were equipped with an M52TU motor.Originally posted by BeirBrennerE30 View Post

No, the four door E46s came out in 1999.
The two door 323is and 328is were still E36s, as well as the M3.
