Replacing/ Replacement for e46 m43

Hi all, been trawling this site for a while, and it's been a lot of help so far. Only just signed up though.
Just asking for some advise. I have a 2000 e46 touring with the 1.9 m43 engine. The engine isn't great, oil leaks here there and everywhere, knocking cracking and just generally really tappy.
I'm looking to replace it. It's the 116bhp model, not a lot I power but not too fussed if I have to replace it with another m43, but I am wondering if there is another engine of similar size and 4 pot that would fit straight in with original wiring harness? I'm thinking maybe the 16v equivalent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Stuart
