Multiple options depending on skill level, parts availability, and how much you give a damn.

1. (Most skill required) Go to a junkyard and snip the last few inches of the harness off of another e82. I'm not sure, but one off an e90 may be the same.

Alternatively, search eBay or FB marketplace.

De-pin and re-pin the connector with your fresh one. You'll need to buy or make a pick tool to do this.

2. (Easier) Buy a three pin connector and splice it in.

3. (Easiest) Skip the connector and splice the whole thing together (weatherproof butt connectors + heat shrink). Definitely a little hokey, but how often are you removing your third brake light?
