JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted February 1, 2012 Over the last week or so my oil level sensor has been coming on for a few secs then going off. A scan of the car is showing its defective and I know this sensor is a common fault on the e46's. Just wondering if anybody knows the approx price of these sensors. I see them on trade me for Between $250 and $160. Car is in for a service soon so might as well get it swapped out at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RustyItalian 11 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Mine does the same. Given the cost I am quite happy to check the oil level the old fashioned way! As much as I like my BMW it is a pity they couldn't engineer the simple things to work right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
