If you are referring to the wastegate. At a certain point in the N20 engine lifecycle, BMW switched to a EWG (electronic waste gate). I think yours might still be the pressure type. You can punch your VIN in realoem.com to verify the part. I don't know if you can simply swap to EWG though.

My 2014 x28i has that plug connector blocked off altogether. So no issue with oil going accumulation due to newer design.

You can check out the f30 328i forum as they have a higher concentration of early n20 owners.
