It does look like the previous owner cut the purple plug from the harness. I have no clue why.

You can buy a replacement purple plug and wiring pins from a BMW dealer. So, get those. It is cheap and easy.

Next, I would recommend a MKIV replacement for two reasons:
1) The MKIV are much more reliable and durable than the MKIII
2) Your car would have come with a MKIV originally
