Does anyone know a source for a replacement Fuel Sensor? I was just quoted about $550 to replace the sensor, which has been not functioning correctly lately, by Mini of Peabody. Not sure what type of labor I would be getting myself into, I'll look into doing it myself. I know the sensor is accessed by removing the rear seats, but beyond that, it would be an experiment.

So, if anyone has done this, or knows a place to buy the sensor, I'd greatly appreciate any info.

Warranty??

 

looked at http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...21&hg=16&fg=15 , then www.pelicanparts.com and www.bmwmotorwerks.com
L fuel sensor 16146765127 $85-$105
...with pump 16146765121 $240 -$274
R fuel sensor 16146765134 $86 - $105
...with filter 16146765124 $194 - $205.

 

Ahh, if only I had taken it in as soon as it happened, I was at abot 47k. Then it started working again, so I let is slide. Then it began doing it againg, registering 0 on the fuel gage. Now I am at 52k (its working fine now) but no more warranty. My mistake.

 

First thing I would do is check all the wiring connectors and grounds, from the top of the tanks all the way. Sounds like a loose connector or bad ground... maybe not, but checking sure is cheaper than buying all those parts.
