Put engine in, use old engine oxygen sensors, get MAF from 2001-2002 330i, and then flash the Z3 dme with WinKFP to Z3 3.0i.

Is this a North American Z3?

So yea, flash original dme with WinKFP to 7545697. It will probably do 2 flashes, one for programming section and one for data section.

You must not reuse any oxygen sensors from the donor 330i, they are wideband. Then you should also source the 3.5" tubing, and an early 330i MAF with the same kind of plug you have on the car.

The intake manifold should be from the 330i as well, depending how complete your engine was.
