No.

Not a thing.

Sorry, but I can only barely figure out my own car.
BMW seems to have been a lot more organized in the 1990's than they were in the 1950's and '60's. Back in the old days, all of the German makers would transition between models with a few vehicles that shared components they hadn't been intended to share, because either they had to use up the old stock, or they hadn't quite finished the new design yet.
So far as I know, that shouldn't have happened between the E36 and E46, but, once again, I am NOT an authority on this.

I'd say, if you want to look for phantom relays, try behind the glove compartment and under the dash on the driver's side (either up from the floor, or down through the hole where the cluster mounts). There are already a number of relays there, and there is room for a few more.

Good luck!
