No — the E46 (1998–2005) and the E90 (2005–2013) are completely different generations with different steering column assemblies, so the indicator stalks are not interchangeable. Always source a stalk from the correct generation for your car. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
The E90 ran from 2005 to 2013 with a facelift in 2010 that introduced changes to the steering column controls on some variants. Whether a pre-facelift (2005–2009) stalk crosses over to a post-facelift (2010–2013) car is not guaranteed, so you should confirm compatibility against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing.
For the indicator stalk, trim level does not affect fitment — an SE, Sport, M Sport, or Luxury stalk from the same generation will physically fit the same way. That said, be aware that some trim levels may have stalks with slightly different button configurations or paddle-shift controls if the donor car had optional extras your car does not, so check with the breaker what features the donor stalk has. Confirm against your registration to be sure.
The E91 Touring and E92 Coupe share the E90 generation platform and were built alongside the saloon during 2005–2013, so the indicator stalks are often the same unit across these body styles. This is generally reliable within the same generation and production year, but confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker to be certain.
The F30 saloon (2012–2019) and F31 Touring (2012–2019) share the same steering column assembly, so the indicator stalks are typically interchangeable between these two body styles. The F30 and F31 both received a facelift around 2015, so try to match pre- or post-facelift where possible, and confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.
No — the engine fitted to your 3 Series has no bearing on indicator stalk fitment, whether you have a petrol, diesel, or hybrid variant. What matters is that the donor car is from the same generation and ideally the same facelift phase as your car. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to make sure you get the right stalk.
