part depends on what engine you have, from 98 i think they have a sensor before and after the cat rather than a single one. S its either a £100 job or a £200 job

pop your car details in the box on the left and it should bring up the relevant parts. use code ''winter25'' you might get 25% off.

Lambda Sensors

Hi Hammers

AFAIK different Zeds have different numbers of lambda sensors
They are normally sited in front of the CAT with (depending model/engine) others behind it.
We need more info from you in order to be more specific.


EDIT - r37 beat me to it!

Hi it's a 1998. 1.9 on the s reg

Looking at OEM you wantr one of THESE Part#8 11781247406 PROBE
However, check by putting the last 7 digits of YOUR chassis number into OEM - I've just guessed at Aug 98 M44 1.9
Coopers LINK want £177

Thanks . My one is not an m sorry new. To all this mate

No need to apologise - we were all new once
The M44 is the engine reference. I don't know what yours is. Have a look here http://users.belgacom.net/bmw_z3/bmw_z3_engines.htm

If it is the 1.9 Engine (Only other engine was a 2.8 during this period plus the M), then it is 1 Lambda Sensor and it is before the CAT, so in theory you can de-Cat and unleash the beast!:

This is the cheapest

I assume the screw in / out and plug in, never changed mine

Does this sensor sense lambs? if so did all zeds get fitted with it or was it an after MARKET thing or just a Martian mod?

I don't know, but all the wool plus the fur balls from the Cat 3 (closest icon to a cat) could be the cause of the restrictive exhaust system, what i do know, is that Lambda is the 11th letter of the greek alphabet.................
