Where do you find the outside temperature sensor on 3 series BMW?

The outside temperature sensor on a 3 series BMW is located in the front bumper, behind the right fog light. To access the sensor, you will need to remove the front bumper. Here are the steps on how to do this:

1. Park your BMW in a level area and turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and remove the plastic cover that is located behind the front bumper.

3. Locate the two screws that hold the fog light in place. Remove these screws and then pull the fog light out of the bumper.

4. Behind the fog light, you will see the outside temperature sensor. It is a small, black sensor that is about the size of a quarter.

5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor and then remove the sensor from the bumper.

6. To install the new sensor, simply reverse the steps above.
