Actually there is a "RDC" control unit of 2002 E46 models. It is behind
the glove box. I found it after doing a through investigation of the
TIS. THe newer models use this technique the older ones use a
transmitter on each wheel and a control unit. THe part numbers are
listed in realoem.com

Can you give a URL to the REALOEM listing? This is really curious since
none of the E46/M3 cars use a separate control unit AFAIK.

applies to 320/325 etc search for Control Unit RDC. It is located in
the lower slots of the module socket behind glove box.
