Do the pressure sensors have different part numbers or are they both the same? Will get that sorted asap, few other jobs then hopefully get it through the mot! Appreciate the help

They're both the same. Just order 2 of the items posted an eBay link to :) £54 posted (for 2) is pretty good IMO and it fixed mine
(I too had the yellow handbrake and DSC light)

There are cheaper (and more expensive) versions, but I went for them as someone else recommended them to me.

I have the same symptoms at the moment. I plugged into DIS and confirmed an implausible signal from the DSC sensors was the cause. I haven’t got around to changing them out yet but may look at the ebay ones.

I had the dreaded three lights on last year. After some research I found out that the most likely cause was the ABS pump/ecu, checked BMW prices and nearly had a heart attack. Howerver I located a company colled BBA Reman which recondition these units for a fraction of the cost. Took the chance and ordered one, got it fitted and ... problem solved. If your handy with the tools and know how to bleed your brakes its not too difficult to replace.

Hi,
I need to replace my brake pressure sensors and I am interested in how you find the ones you purchased on eBay, would you recommend them? They certainly look good value :thumbsup:

Regards,

Andy

Well it’s been about 6 months since I fitted mine that were from eBay (there’s a link in one of my previous posts) and without jinxing it, everything is still perfect :)
