Hello, I've been trying to find information online but haven't succeeded. I'm looking for a PCI-E Bluetooth device that doesn't include Wi-Fi, because it's frustrating when everything is bundled together. I don't want a Wi-Fi combo card since I already have a reliable Wi-Fi adapter (TP Link Archer T9E). I also know USB dongles exist, but this isn't what I'm after for various reasons. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's likely the response is negative. You might turn off the Wi-Fi feature on a PCIe card, or if you want just Bluetooth, use a USB dongle.

Sadly, the sole practical method for connecting Bluetooth is via a USB adapter or a PCIe card that combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality.

It's quite unusual and problematic. I'm unsure how to proceed since I can't use a USB dongle and I don't want another Wi-Fi card, which might cause complications. Appreciate your thoughts!

I believe the Dell Bluetooth 370 fits into a PCI-E slot. In the miniPCI-E version, many adapters exist to convert it to a full-size PCI-E. You'll find numerous options on eBay for low prices, around $3 to $5. If you really want to modify it for a full PCI-E connection, a combo of a miniPCI-E 802.11n or 802.11ac card with a BT 4.0 module would be better.
