Hello Everyone

Can someone please confirm where the is Crankshaft Speed Sensor located on the N46 Engine E90 320i right hand drive.

For the life of me I can not find the dam thing. I have been looking on the Left side of the engine underneath. There was a bracket which has attachments to oil breather tube, and intake etc so I had to take it off which was obstructing the view but even after that I can not see it.

Anyone has a good picture please post really appreciate it.

According to diagrams it is suppose to be on the left side of the block.????

Thanks.

Ending up taking the Manifold off and replaced ALL sensors under including the PCV Valve.

Car has done 160,000 Ks and Catalytic converter gave up so while waiting on the Cat to arrive from Germany my car was on the hoist decided to fix other things as well while i am at it.
