the sensor above the oilfilter housing is the tps right? i broke that sensor like a dummy and now the eml light and service engine light and traction control light is on.
just swap it out and all should be good right?

please help my baby is down :headbang:
 
You'll need one of our US friends to answer that probably. Here in the UK ours run off the ABS sensors and don't use individual sensors in each wheel.
 
Sounds like the TPS sensor yes, attached to the end of the throttle bodies. How did you break it though?!

i broke it trying to disconnect the wire. im pretty upset i hate when i do something like that.
i ordered one from partsgeek for 58$ shipped. dealer wants 130$ for the same thing and of course not in stock.
poor thing is un driveable. :headbang:
 
Make sure you order a genuine Bosch sensor, if it's a lot cheaper it might not be gen and cause you other issues. Expensive as BMW are when it comes to sensors its sometimes best knowing your getting the real deal
