Bad Sensor?
My light saying, Check Engine Soon, came on today. (42000 miles) I suspect the O2 sensor.
Does this light indicate a bad O2 sensor or could it be something else? Is there some way to check whichsensor is bad or should I just change alll of them figuring that if one goes bad, then the second one can't be far behind? Stan |

02s are supposed to last longer than 40k miles, so get the codes pulled using an advanced scan tool with BMW specific capability. Go from there.

It could have been from them being damaged when the test pipes were put on. I saw how they did it, they unclipped them and dropped them with the OEM xpipe, but who knows. Dave

I don't know why i'm confused but both front and rear 02 sensors for bank 1 and bank 2 are underneath the car and not accessible from the engine bay right?

It is a simple one but helped me to identify a couple of error codes from my O2 sensors

Bank 1 and Bank 2 O2 sensors are under the car. Bank 1 is passenger side, bank 2 is driver side (again, please correct me if I am wrong someone). You have two O2 sensors (per bank) underneath the car, one pre-cat and and one post-cat. You will need to get jack up the car and get underneath when installing them... |

Trying to remove my oxygen sensors today. The electrical connections for the fronts sensors are easy but I'm having trouble pulling the rear sensors. How do I disconnect the connectors for the rear oxygen sensors (the ones behind the primary cats). Thanks

In my quest to find a local vendor, I didn't find any under $100 on eBay but they were on alibaba for $60. The vendor told me they are imitations, yet have the bosch logo's etc on the barrel, but no bosch box. They said they test them and offer 1yr warranty and supply many distributors in the US and Germany. Not sure whether this is alarming or not, but for an expensive car I think I will be sticking to a reputable supplier. |

For sure, I just ordered two primary Bosch replacements and will post results once I've got them on the car.
