I have check the catalog, this model has 2 oil pan design, one of them same like yours but both also no dipstick. So confirm no OEM parts for u unless you want to use the E46 M54 dipstick to modify (O-ring size also different at the oil pan mount for the M54 dipstick guide tube).Check out the side of your N52 oil pan, there is a hose (thumb size <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />) going in now, that's you oil return hose and that's where u gonna stick in your dipstick. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="http://www.mwerks.com/gallery/albums//BMW/Technology%20and%20Development/BMW%20N52=Inline%206%20Engine/003.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />More about N52 here, with loads of photo for your engine..  <a href="http://www.mwerks.com/artman/publish/features/article_960.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.mwerks.com/artman/publish/features/article_960.shtml</a>On the other hand, E90 N46 can use the following E46 N46 parts to install dipstick.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />1) 11 43 7 505 490, Dipstick 2) 11 43 1 717 666, O-ring3) 11 43 7 505 011, Guide tube     4) 07 11 9 900 268, Hex Bolt with washer     5) 11 43 7 509 343, O-ring (Production discontinued)6) 12 52 1 732 530 or 11 78 7 549 563, Cable clamp<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
