If that car is like my 87 528e then there is no harness, the factory deck is just hard wired in. Now I'm not 100% sure they'd be the same, but there's a pretty good chance. Also in the 5-series the speaker leads behind the dash are common ground to an amp in the trunk, so you have to run new speaker wires. I've never worked on a 3-series however so your car might be quite different.
I hope this is in some way helpfull

Jim
