Help identify JB4/harness

I was sold a “F-Series N55 w/EWG connector” by a forum member on bimmerpost. However, I’m thinking this is an E-Series box. I’m wondering if this can be used with my vehicle (2015 335i). If so, I have a few questions:
1) I'm assuming I need to at a minimum hook up the power and negative leads?
2) The harness does have the fuel connector but it is a 4-pin connector and my car connector is 3-pins, is there an upgrade available to make this work?
3) I purchased the OBDII connector separately but can't find where to plug this in on my harness, it does not seem to have the 4 pin small block connector. I do see the green and brown wires but not connector attached. I did purchase the bluetooth adapter so maybe I don't need OBDII?

Thanks for your help guys!

Pics are too small to actually tell but the box definitely looks like an E-series box.. The F-series are more rectangular and would have a OBD wire for a connector.

Return to seller as it won't work on your car.

So that's interesting. I hooked up the map and tmap. Got the obd2 hooked up. Also hooked up my wireless connect. I've flashed it with the f series latest firmware and it's responding through the BC stalk. Although when I ran the car the JB4 app is showing that it's switching to the safety map so you're probably right. And yes, it's the shorter square box, not the rectangular one.

You really should not be running this... Its clearly the wrong version for your car.

Well I reset all the values to the default settings and now it's working! If it were in fact and e-series it shouldn't work at all right?
