BMW Electrical Sensors, Switches, & Relays for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

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.

When building a car for the track, one of the most important factors to consider is weight. Stock batteries can weigh up to almost 50 pounds and are unnecessarily large, designed to power a host of systems not normally used in a track car (radios, lighting, etc.). What can you do to cut weight the weight without affecting your cars operation? This is where Braille Battery comes in with their long line of performance lightweight battery options! Designed to provide the highest cranking power possible while being up to 75% lighter, Braille Battery is one of the foremost leaders in automotive racing batteries with nothing but high quality, high output batteries in mind!

This is the coolant temperature sensor used in many BMW models from the late-1990s to the mid-2010s. The engine computer relies on the coolant temp to set the fuel mapping for the engine. As the car warms up the computer changes the fuel mixture. If your car is running a bit rich (too much fuel) it could be because this sensor is failing and not sending the correct info to the computer. This sensor is located in a variety of places depending on the engine. But it's one of those easy replacement items 'while you're in there' when doing a water pump or thermostat replacement. From 1974 to 2019, Bavarian Autosport was one of the premier vendors for BMW and MINI auto parts. We are happy to preserve the Bav Auto legacy by continuing to carry their high-quality products into the future. All Bav Auto parts will remain unchanged in design and sourced from the same OEM suppliers to ensure long-lasting reliability. We trust these parts, accessories, and upgrades so confidently that we back every Bavarian Autosport branded component with a 2-year warranty.
