Marv, where'd you tap in for the sender on the 6cyl? I want to throw an oil pressure in, but haven't gotten around to figuring out where to tap in __________________

Here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-R...Q5fAccessories or you can buy one from UUC motorwerks which is the same thing. I got mine for like $80 but had to source out for a thicker gasket ring. __________________

Thanks for the response Marv. The price is exactly why I haven't put an oil pressure or temp in my car yet, can justify $100 for the adapter. I think I may go the route of drilling/tapping the vanos banjo bolt.
GL with the sale, if I needed one I'd pick it up. What are you replacing it with? __________________

I figured out all you need to do is pull the stock oil pressure switch and install the new sender in its place an VIOLA ! your on your way to being cool like marv | | | | | 02-13-2011, 05:28 PM | #13 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |
