KwS 2378 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Hi I urgently need to borrow the cam angle sensors from an S50B30 M3, prefer all 3 (intake, exhaust and TDC), but TDC would be a great start. Im having an issue that reports back as one of the sensors and i need to pop a good sensor in to test and see if the issue and code go away, before i go ordering sensors at $200 a pop. Will pay postage here and back if not local, and will pay for time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Can you give me the part numbers? I have a set of intake and exhaust cam sensors out of an e39 m5 that might be the same. They did not produce any error codes when they were installed so should help if they're the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Hey, TDC sensor is 12141401888 Intake cam is 12141401889 exhaust cam is 12141401890 Wont need the sensors for long, easy to get in and out on my car and testing is non-destructive.

BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Not the same unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 ah thats a shame, thanks for checking anyway. Mine all look like this, with slight variations in the plugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Could even do with just testing the TDC on the front of the motor first (above the vanos unit, right at the top front), as i have a hunch this is whats causing my problem but i dont want to spend $200 to get the part from Germany, and have it not fix the problem, and the part is non-returnable.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) just ran part numbers, all three are E36 M3 S50 specific Interestingly, doesnt say its cross compatible with Z3M with same engine, might be a glitch tho Contact Geoff here in Wellington, he has a few S50s and S54s lying about, he might be able to help, i dont have his number saved on this phone sorry Edited September 1, 2014 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Yup, sucks, full on ///M tax on these parts >_< The TDC sensor is B30 specific too, which makes it even less common. Sorry, which one is Geoff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Just checked the part numbers. The E36 and the E46 have quite different part numbers for the sensors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
