What is your question?
I have a 2002 330i in which the engine is worn out... Rings are worn out. 285k miles. I wanted to install another 3.0L out of a 2003 330i and wanted to know if it would work and be a direct fit... Both engines are the standard 225hp engines.... ? Thank you.... Tim
What makes this problem better or worse?
Will a 2003 330i E46 engine work in a 2002 330i E46 330i?
How long has your 2002 BMW 330i had this problem?
See above

They are both M54 engines, it should work. However my suggestion would be to either get your own motor rebuild professionally or look into a rebuild motor. The used motor can be a nightmare and you want the work to be only once. Be sure to replace all hoses, water pump and anything else while the motor is out.
