BSIs cannot be reprogrammed, so if you want to use a 2nd hand one you'll need the engine ECU, possibly other bits too

yep as mjb says, and you'll need the immobiliser chip from the key to the donor 406 otherwise you wont be able to start your engine, i swapped my bsi over to put cruise control in, however you may end up with additional miles on the clock as a result

BBA reman can repair your original bsi usually, if they cant, they can virginise a used one to be programmed into your car using peugeot planet, they are probably your cheapest option to get your car running again
