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.

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.

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 car's 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! The B3121 battery from Braille is their lightest do-everything battery available, offering 1380 pulse cranking amps that can crank over V8 engines with ease while still coming in at under 22 pounds, half of the weight of a standard Group 34 battery! This is thanks to their Advanced AGM racing technology that allows them to put a ton of power into a very small package. Physical Specifications: BCI Group: All sizes Weight: 21lbs / 9.5kg Length: 6.6" / 168mm Width: 5.2" / 132mm Height: 6.8" / 173mm Polarity: Right Side Positive Terminal Type: Steel terminal block with M6 bolt Performance Specifications: Voltage: 12v Recharge Voltage: 14.4V – 14.6V Maintenance charge voltage: 13.8V 5s Pulse Cranking Amps (PCA): 1380 10s PDC: 124 Amp Hour (Ah): 31 Watt Hour (Wh): 372 Life Cycle @ 10% DOD: 3100 Charging Temperature 0C to 50C Discharge Temperature range -40C to +60C Storage temperature -40C to +60C *THIS BATTERY REQUIRES A CUSTOM MOUNTING SOLUTION. The size and weight are significantly smaller than a stock battery and will not be held in place by the stock battery mount*

Located on the intake side of the cylinder head, this sensor relays the position of the camshaft to the computer in order to determine proper ignition timing. When this sensor fails the engine will generally log a fault code and may place the vehicle into "limp" mode. When this happens it is advised to stop driving the vehicle and address the issue immediately as premature wear or long term damage to the engine is possible.

When doing any sort of repair or maintenance there is no replacement for genuine factory parts. Turner Motorsport carries the Genuine BMW brand with pride and has the parts you need to complete your next project with confidence.
