O2 Sensors
I used to mess around with E30 and E36 BMWs. Long ago the illuminati discovered that you could use the O2 sensor from a Ford straight 6 (IIRC) on the BMW engines. It was an easy way to save a hundred bucks or so. Any trick like that on my R11S?

Some have used the Bosch O2 Sensor (P/N: 13474) purchased at AutoZone in their R1100S.
Beemer Boneyard sells them, also.

Well, my 1994 530I is an E34.
It has a 3.0l dohc v8, I thought they were somewhat common. I got a good'un, no nikasil issues, H&R lowering kit, bilsteins, 18" momos, earbleed stereo courtesy of daughter's hubby. Conforti chip, airbox mod, yadda-yadda. Fast enough to emulate the late FNF kid if you get it seriously wrong.

I thought the 530's were all sixes and the 540's were the V8's?
"My bad" as they say. Thanks. |

I think the fact that this particular sensor fits the R1100s is just a coincidence. It uses a connector used by BMW on their cars.

not to be a $h!t, but the amazon item is not showing the correct part # you could go here or here EnDuraLast - BMW R & K Oxygen Sensor my take on the various different part numbers has to do with the connectors and other stuff, the guts of the sensor for general use ( narrow band) i take to be the same, so why not use one that matches the connect and approx length and save the hassle of trying to make the splice joint....

an 02 sensor is a 'wear item' much as an oil or air filter, just with a longer service life. I believe a standard intreval is 60K miles.
Sure, they go longer than that but part of a modern troubleshooting SOP should include a replacement decision. my 530 car threw an '02 sensor' failure trouble code, I replaced both (factory stainless tube headers and dual exhausts) and that cured the issue I had..just my $.02
