If your car was prewired with the 13 pin, then it will plug into the pioneer...(CDXM30), not their newer changers. If you get one from ebay, try to get them to put the "moving" screws in before shipping.
My '89 wasn't prewired so the changer came with the 13 pin cable and had to be run forward to the head unit. You will have to power the changer (unless that is prewired as well) from the battery under the seat...easy thing to do..http://www.pie.net/bmwpiom.htm
This gives some information on various years and units and changers
