Engine change just to get a tach? No!

You could go to a pic-n-pull and get the mag pickup, EGR controller and harness from an EGR equipped 240D and install it on yours. You have to verify that you have a "tooth" on your harmonic balancer for the mag pickup to sense. If it does not have one, you can always make one by epoxying a "tooth" on the harmonic balancer by using a small allen head screw.
