Hi guys. I recently acquired myself a 120i.
Lately I noticed the outside temperature shows -44. That's obviously not right.
Is it a DIY fix or does it warrant a trip to the agents. Thanks guys

that temperature is the default setting if the temperature probe is not connected, or missing all toegether, check in the ducting close to your front brakes for the probe

Its a diy

You need a new temperature sensor

DIY - check post 5 on this page

Hi guys so today I checked under the fender loner and found the sensor and plug missing. So I shorted the wires to check and the obc reads +50. So where can I get a sensor and plug from. Or is it just agents. Thanks guys

fancy way of saying, extra spoilers and spliters to make it "look" more modern

There are more changes than that specifically on the e90. It's different boot. Different tail lights. Different bumpers. Different grills. Different bonnet. Different side mirrors. Different cup holders. Wider track on the rear. Probably a few more suspension mods. Different headlights as well.

And at least with the 3 series they don't add splitters or spoilers. Those would be optional.

Got the sensor from Goldwagen. Thanks for that Ralf. However they don't have the plug. Where can I get that plug from. Guys sorry for all the questions. It's my first BMW and I want everything working perfectly. Thanks

I think contact Gert at OBDWorx, he is an advertiser here on the forums, from Benoni, and from what I can see he is a bit of an electronics guru

If he cannot make a plan for you, then no-one will, except getting the plug from the dealers(stealers)
