BMW Electrical Sensors, Switches, & Relays for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Electrical gremlins can be very frustrating. Luckily your BMW's electrical system is better than most, even if it's 25 years old. Here you will find electrical relays, sensors, switches, and modules for the engine, camshaft, and crankshaft. Our parts are OEM, Genuine BMW, or approved aftermarket brands that we have an excellent track record with. There is no middle ground with electrical parts - it either works perfectly or not. And there's nothing more frustrating than a new part that fails right out of the box. So it's important to choose quality replacement parts over a cheap but faulty piece.

Since 2010, Advanced Auto Fabrication has been producing and developing both parts and full fledged race cars. Their knowledge base covers a wide range of vehicles both domestic and imported. In the specific case of BMW, the team at AAF has a particular affinity for building and designing components for BMW race cars. The AAF E46 Jump Post Relocation Bracket makes it easy to adjust camber/caster on your race car by getting the factory jump post out of the way! In race car applications, the desired camber and caster settings can cause the strut tops and shock adjusters to interfere with the factory jump post. This kit takes just a few minutes to install and makes using strut braces and adjusting camber plates just that much safer and faster.

The camshaft position sensor is essential for assisting the engine DME by monitoring the camshaft's position. The data from this sensor is key to optimizing ignition timing and ensuring smooth engine performance. Often referred to as the CMP sensor, this component is crucial for the overall functionality of the powertrain. A failing camshaft position sensor can cause a range of issues, including engine stumbling, hesitation during acceleration, power loss, and even starting difficulties or complete failure to start.
