Fuel Injection
I Oxygen sensors, replacing
4 Four Bosch oxygen sensors (2 precatalytic converter sen-
sors and
2 post-catalytic converter sensors) provide a vary-
ing voltage signal
[0.2 vdc (max. lean) to 0.8 vdc (max. rich)]
to the ME
7.2 ECM representing oxygen content in the ex-
haust gas.
WARNING-
Exhaust manifolds and pipes can be hot enough to cause se-
rious burns. Wear suitable heavy gloves and other appropri-
ate protection.
- Using a special oxygen sensor socltet, remove the threaded
sensors from the exhaust system.
- If not already applied, coat the new oxygen sensor threads
with an anti-seize compound before installation. Do not get
compound on the sensor tip.
Tightening torque
Oxygen sensor to exhaust system
50 Nm (37 ft-lb)
Fuel injectors, removing and installing
The ME 7.2 system uses ball seat type fuel injectors. This de-
sign
prov:des precise seal'ng when the iniector is closed
therebv eiminalinq raw HC (unb~rned fue ) formalion in tne
intake.-~he fuel inkctors areswitched on and off by the ECM
at the ground side.
- Remove plastic cover from above fuel rail. See100 Engine
Removal and Installation.
- Disconnected battery negative (-) cable.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battea read the battery discon-
nection cautions given at the front of this manual. See 001
General Warnings and Cautions.
- Remove both ignition coil covers.
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
Remove left and right ignition coil ground wires,
4 Remove fuel injector loom boxes.
Loosen mounting fasteners
(A).
Disconnect electrical plugs (B and D).

Exhaust System
Oxygen sensors (precatalyst), replacing
(M52 TU and M54)
The precatalyst oxygen sensors are installed at the top of the
exhaust manifolds.
WARNING-
Allow components to cool before servicing.
- Using BMW scan tool DlSplus (Diagnostic Information Sys-
tem) or equivalent, read out and clear ECM fault codes.
Working at right side of engine above exhaust manifolds,
remove front or rear oxygen sensor harness connector
(arrows) from bracket, then separate plug.
NOTE-
In photo, secondary air pump has been removed for clarity.
Remove oxygen sensor using special oxygen sensor
removal socket.
Installation is reverse of removal
New sensor threads come coated with anti-seize paste.
If reusing a sensor, apply thin coat of anti-seize paste to
threads only. Do not contaminate tip of sensor with paste
or lubricants of any sort.
Install harness and connector in original location.
Tightening torque

Oxygen sensor to manifold 50 Nm (37 ft-lb)
Oxygen sensors (post-catalyst), replacing
(M52 TU and M54)
The post-catalyst oxygen sensors are installed at the rear of
the catalytic converters.
WARNING-
Allow components to cool before servicing
- Using BMW scan tool DlSplus or equivalent, read out and
clear ECM fault codes.
- Remove large cover from above fuel raillintake manifold.

Brakes
The brake booster is mounted to the bulkhead on driver's side
of the engine compartment, directly behind the brake master
cylinder. Intake manifold vacuum acts on a large diaphragm
in the brake booster to reduce brake pedal effort.
Brake booster check valve
The checlc valve in the bralte booster vacuum line prevents
contamination from engine backfires and other sources from
entering the bralte booster.
Location of
check valve varies, depending on year and mod-
el.
4 6-cylinder models (528i):
1. Intake manifold
2 Hose clamp
3. Vacuum line
4. Upper hose bracket
5. Grommet 6. From 911998: Check valve in grommet in booster.
Remove left ventilation filter housing for access.
7. To 911 998: Check valve in vacuum hose. Remove left
ventilation filter housing, peel back trim rubber below
housing and
unclip upper hose brackets to access hose
clamps and valve.
8. Lower hose

9. Brake master cylinder
10. Brake booster
< 6-cylinder models (525i, 530i): Remove left ventilation filter
housing to access

4 V-8 models (540i) to 911998: Check valve (arrow) in vacuum
line behind left cylinder head.

Brakes
- Pump brake pedal a few times to reduce vacuum in brake
booster. This makes removal of
check valve easier.
- Remove or loosen hose clamp(s) at check valve.
- Disconnect hoses. Remove valve to test or replace.
NOTE-
If valve is pressed into grommet in vacuum booster, pry it out
carefully.
- Reinstall valve using new hose clamps
NOTE-
Install the valve so that the molded arrow is pointing toward
the intake manifold.

CAUTIO&
All E39 vehicles sold in the USA are equipped with Antiloclc
Braking System (ABS) and either Automatic Stability Control
(ASC) or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). In order for the
bralchg and stability controls to work properk if brake fluid
lines are disconnected and reconnected,
male sure that the
brake system is bled by an authorized BMW dealer or other
qualified repair facility using the BMW Service Tester: See
Brake Bleeding earlier in this group.
- Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery.
I CAUTION- I
Prior to disconnecting the battery read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions and
I Warnings. I
- Remove bralte master cylinder as described earlier.
- Disconnect engine vacuum hose from bralte booster.
