Bmw E46 MK3 damage (Geplaudere Forum)

Hello, recently after an enormous rain when I went to the car and started it, the navi screen didn't show the items: navigation, bordcomputer and telephone, and so when I when to the MK3 in the trunk I saw it was all wet... And when I tried to take it out, the water come out about half a cup... Then I dried it out very well, but it never worked ever since...
Now I am about to buy a used MK3 computer at ebay but none of the several sellers I've contacted know if their MK3s will work on my system, which is a small monocolored radio navi screen like this: http://i22.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/c6/fa/28_1.JPG
And the MK3 they have for sale are all for 16:9 or 4:3 colored screens...
Should I buy it? I didnt want to waste 260 euros...

Another thing I find strange is if (apparently) only the MK3 is malfunctioning why the items bordcomputer and telephone dont show? The bordcomputer still works perfectly on the odometer...

Anyone could help me?
Thank you.

I dont know too miuch about E46 systems but I say give it a try...
The borad computer might be on a seperate system...

Isn't there a dealership around your place?
If you go there they can check if the partnumber that you need for yours is the same than for the other one...

They should know what's working out for you...

or better yet anyone with the ETK program should be able to tell you as well.. I dont have it.
