If the outside temperature on your vehicle is reading -44, -40, or 122 degrees on your instrument cluster, then your Ambient air temperature sensor may be bad, damaged, or missing. It's possible that your air conditioner won't work properly as a result of this.
Because the temperature sensor is usually located under the bottom of the left or right side fender liner, it is quite common for it to be damaged by accidental scraping or hitting something from the front end. While this is not an original equipment manufacturer part, it is a direct replacement part that will save you hundreds of dollars over dealer prices.
A Lifetime Warranty is included with this Ambient Air Temperature Sensor. If the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on your BMW 325i, 325Ci, 328i, 330Ci, or 530i ever fails, Fits popular models from the following years: 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11.

This part fits a BMW 540i from the year 2003
4/5

I bought this for my mother and it saved me a lot of money and time. BMW 540i, which belongs to my brother-in-law. Hers was broken, so the air conditioning was only working intermittently. - reads the dash The temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It only took me about 5 minutes to replace it. The temperature on the dash now reads 85 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about right. The clip did not snap in, so I didn't give it five stars. I taped the harness anyway to keep it from coming loose because the prongs made contact and were reasonably tight.

I put in a couple of days' worth of work
3/5

I put in a couple of days' worth of work. Because this item was only working intermittently, I took the car to the experts for assistance and had it replaced with a dealership installed BMW OEM part. BMW cars are notoriously picky when it comes to electronics, and OEM parts appear to work better.

It works
5/5

The price is unbeatable, and the item is well-fitting. When I lost my sensor, the car gave me a - The temperature has dropped to 40°F, and the check engine light has illuminated. Everything went back to normal after I replaced the sensor. Now I'm not sure how long it'll last, but if it doesn't, I'll return and update this; However, everything has gone well thus far. $7 is a safe bet. Come on, man, it's 00!.

Everything is in place
5/5

Yes, there are less expensive sensors on the market. This one, on the other hand, has absolutely no flaws. It does exactly what you would expect it to do. It fits like a glove. So, if your sensor needs to be replaced, this is a great option.

It's a good fit and it gets the job done
5/5

My 330ci was manufactured in 2001. My sensor had become damaged and was giving me an incorrect reading. I unplugged the old, damaged one and replaced it with this one, which appears to be functioning properly and providing accurate readings. If I have any concerns, I will make changes to my review.

It's just too hot to deal with
4/5

I replaced my old OEM Ambient Air Temperature Sensor with this one, and it works as expected for the price; there's a two-degree difference between it and the iPhone weather app, but that's nothing in Texas. Over the OEM price, this is a huge savings.

This is an excellent substitute
5/5

Despite the fact that it is only a quarter of the price of the original, it looks and functions identically to the 40 dollar unit that failed after 11 years.

Outside temperature sensor on a BMW
5/5

It is inexpensive and it functions flawlessly. Why pay ten times as much for something that works just as well?.
