If its an E46 engine it will be twin vanos = useless to an E30

[bodger001]

is there an easy way to tell if its a e46

Twin VANOS

[bodger001]

would you mind explaining why the twin vanos is no good...

[DanThe]

E46 is the 3 series model that followed the E36, its not a type of engine.
There is nothing wrong with twin vanos, just that its not worth the effort required to get it working in an E30

[DanThe]

Most important part is the wheel speed sensors and AFAIK E30 sensors are not compatible

mmmm maybe a bit too much to do lol
