I am struggling to identify the part number and details of the sensor used to feed my outside temperature gauge in the centre console. Any help would be appreciated.

Odd positioning for the Outside Temperature Sensor
- Post Update -
The car is currently in at Munich Legends having one or two things done before being eligible for RAC Gold Warranty, recently taken out.
However Munich Legends have found a rather odd positioning of the Outside Temperature Sensor - under the N/S Headlight beside the wheel arch liner. Not in the usual place, n/s rear wheel arch liner.
It is also a part that BMW do not have as being listed for the Z3 M Coupe and as a result aren't able to supply a new one.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and the odd positioning?

Going on the extortionate price of the sensor on the M compared to that of all other Z variants it wouldn't be surprising if someone fitted a different sensor. I believe that the gauge doesn't work with the Non-M type sensor though so you either have a different gauge or an entirely different sensor that is compatible. If that's the case I wouldn't mind knowing what type it is as mine is occassionally tempermental.

Just cross checked that with the one on the RealOEM site, it appears to be the same:

Part No. 4.
I spoke with Munich Legends this afternoon and am leaving it with them to look into.
Thanks

I bet if they remove the wheel arch liner they will find the one you want.

It was positioned right underneath the headlight.
When I dropped the car off they mentioned that it should be under the rear wheel arch but upon removing it, they couldn't find it so then had to trace the wiring which led to underneath the headlight on the n/s, bit odd!
