Question on BMW 3-Series E30 /bmw/techarticles/JF Tech/BMW_E30_3_Series_coolant_temp_sensor

I have a 325 E36 R reg 2.5 limited edition import and I have bought a water temp sensor as my temp gauge is not working. I have done the instrument cluster check & all good. Replaced the temp switch on the rad aswell. My problem is where is the temp sensor on the engine. As I stand in front of my car I have spent a whole afternoon looking for it. At the top of the head towards the front two screw in sensors there but neither the right one. No others visible that screw into the engine. Totally at a loss where it goes. Looked in manual and pic is showing me nish as looks nothing like my engine anywhere lol. Been on forums and where it says it is it isn't. Please help me someone I going crazy looking ha ha. Thank you.

There should be two sensors, maybe three right at the bottom of the intake, mounted in the cylinder head. You can determine which is the one for the DME by unplugging the sensor and seeing what fault code sets.
