Idle speed
Engine idle speed can change due to a number of factors, in-
cluding normal wear. The idle speed is electronically adaptive
and not adjustable. See
130 Fuel Injection for more informa-
tion.
Catalytic converter and oxygen sensors
OBD II enhanced emission standards require the engine
control module (ECM) to monitor the oxygen content in the
exhaust with oxygen sensors placed before and after the cat-
alytic converter. This allows for tighter control of tail pipe
emissions and also allows the ECM to diagnose converter
problems. If the ECM detects that catalytic converter or oxy-
gen sensor efficiency has degraded past a certain
prepro-
grammed limit, it will turn on the malfunction indicator light
(MIL), and store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the ECM.
See OBD On-Board Diagnostics for more information on
OBD
ll systems.

Camshaft Timing Chain Timing chains, removing
(M52 engine)
Camshaft timing chain removal on M52 engines requires en-
gine oil pan removal.
Special
BMW sewice tools are needed for timing chain re-
moval and installation procedures. The special tools assure
propertiming of thevalvetrain. Precise marks to
setthe timing
on the camshafts are not provided for reassembly. Read the
procedures through before beginning the job.
NOTE-
If the camshafts are not properly timed, the pistons can con-
tact the valves.
- Remove VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, re-
moving (M52 engine).
- Remove radiator cooling fan and shroud. See 170 Radiator
and Cooling System.
- Drain cooling system. See 170 Radiator and Cooling Sys-
tem.
- Remove coolant hoses from thermostat housing and remove
thermostat housing from front of cylinder head.
- Loosen bolts for coolant pump pulley.
- Remove drive belts for alternator and AIC compressor. See
020 Maintenance.
- Remove coolant pump pulley.
Remove drive belt tensioner mounting bolts (arrows) and re-
move tensioner from front of engine.
- Remove engine speed sensor from lower timing chain cover.

< Disconnect electrical harness connector (arrow) at oil level
sensor.
< Remove lower oil pan mounting bolts (arrows)
CAUTIOI\C
If the lowerpan does not separate easily from upperpan, a
few taps with a rubber mallet should break it free. Do
notpry
the oil pan loose.
- When installing oil pan:
Thoroughly clean all old
gasltet material from mating sur-
faces and use a new gasket.
4 Install threaded guide studs at locations marked by arrows
to guide new oil pan
gasltet and oil pan into position and to
prevent damage to sealing lip.
- Install new oil pan mounting bolts (threads coated with
sealer).
Remove guide studs and install remainder of oil pan bolts.
- Remainder of reassembly is reverse of disassembly
- After adding engine oil, start and run engine. Raise engine
speed to 2,500 rpm until oil pressure warning light goes out
(about 5 seconds).

Lnition switch
4 The positive (+) power supply to the ignition coils comes to
the ignition switch via an unloader relay. When the ignition
switch is turned on, the relay closes, to provide voltage to the
ignition coils. The coils are then actuated at the negative side
by the engine control module.
NOTE-
Schematic diagrams shown are for illustrative purposes only.
See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams for engine manage-
ment specific wiring information.
WARNING- Do not touch or disconnect any cables from the coils while
the engine is running or being cranked by the starter:
The ignition system produces high voltages that can be
fatal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals. Use ex-
treme caution when
working on a car with the ignition
switched on or the engine running.
* Connect and disconnect the DME system wiring and
test equipment leads only when the ignition is
OFF
Before operating the starter without starting the engine
(for example when
making a compression test), always
disable the ignition.
4 Knock sensors (arrows) monitor the combustion chamber for
engine-damaging knock. Six-cylinder models (shown) use
two sensors with each sensor monitoring three cylinders.
V-
8 models use four sensors, each monitoring two cylinders. If
engine
knock is detected, the ignition point is retarded by the
ECM.
I Ignition advance Ignition timing is electronically mapped and not adjustable.
The ECM uses engine load, engine speed, coolant tempera-
ture, knock detection, and intake air temperature as the basic
inputs for timing control.
A three dimensional map similar to
the one shown is digitally stored in the ECM.
- The initial ignition point is determined by the crankshaft
speed sensor during cranking. Once the engine is running.
timing is continually adjusted based on operating conditions.

Crankshaft speed sensor, replacing (M52, M52 TU and
M54 engines)
4 Crankshaft speed sensor for 6-cylinder engine is mounted in
the left rear side of the cylinder block below the starter (ar-
row). The sensor reads a toothed pulse wheel mounted to
the end of the crankshaft.
- if the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not receive a signal
from the crankshaft speed sensor during cranking, the en-
gine will not start.

NOTE-
If the crankshaft speed sensor pulse wheel is damaged, the
engine will have to be disassembled down to the crankshaft
to
reolace the wheel.
- Make certain ignition has been turned off.
- Raise car and support in a safe manner.
WARNING -
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift orjacltstands designed for
the ouroose.
A floor iaclc is not adequate support.
- Remove under engine splash guard
4 Working underneath starter:
Cut off wire tie securing crankshaft speed sensor harness
connector (arrow) to sensor.
* Disconnect harness connector.
4 Remove sensor mounting fastener (arrow) and remove sen-
sor from cylinder block.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Use a new O-ring when installing sensor.
Be sure wiring is routed in same orientation.
Secure sensor using new wire ties.
Use scan tool to read out and clear ECM fault memory.

Crankshaft speed sensor, replacing (M62 and M62TU
engines)
The crankshaft speed sensor reads a toothed pulse wheel
mounted on the flywheel.
If the Engine Control Module(ECM)
does not receive an impulse signal from the crankshaft speed
sensor during
cranking, the engine will not start. If the OBD II
system misfire detection protocol detects a catalyst damag-
ing fault due to a malfunction in the crankshaft speed sensor
components, the Check Engine light (Malfunction
Indicator
Light or MIL) will be Illuminated.
4 The crankshaft speed sensor (arrow) is mounted in the right
lower side of the bell housing.
- Remove speed sensor by disconnecting electrical harness
connector and unbolting sensor from bell housing. Do not
discard shims, if present.
- Installation is the reverse of removal. Clean mounting surface
before installing new sensor, and install shims, if present.
< If the flywheel was replaced, the speed sensor must be
checked for correct installation depth.
* Crank engine in direction of rotation using crankshaft bolt
until a full pulse tooth is centered in the opening for the re-
moved speed sensor.
Measure depth ro top of tooth from speed sensor p~lse
generator mounting s~rface on transmission.
4 Measure length of pulse generator from mounting surface to
end (A).
- Subtract length of pulse generator (A) from distance to pulse
tooth from mounting area on transmission. This measure-
ment is the gap between the pulse sensor and flywheel. Use
shims available from BMW to increase gap as needed to
reach specification.
