Keep tabs on engine oil pressure with the Beck/Arnley Engine Oil Pressure Switch 201-1303 (also written 2011303). This switch monitors oil pressure and controls the dashboard oil pressure warning light, opening and closing its contacts as pressure crosses the set threshold. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of classic BMWs, including the 1963-1964 BMW 1500, 1966-1971 BMW 1600, 1968-1976 BMW 2002, 1977-1983 BMW 320i, 1982-1987 BMW 528e, and 1985-1987 BMW 635CSi — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of 22 applications.
- Matches OE form, fit and function: engineered as an application-specific replacement for the listed BMW models.
- High-quality material and componentry: built with quality construction for durability.
- Constructed to withstand an engine environment: made to hold up to under-hood heat and conditions.
- Operates the warning light: the "w/light" switch signals the oil pressure indicator.
If a failed pressure switch is the cause of an oil light that stays on, stays off, or reads erratically, this replaces it. Because those symptoms can also point to actual low oil pressure, diagnose the cause before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this oil pressure switch do?

Will it fit my BMW?
It's a direct-fit replacement for 22 classic BMW applications from 1963 through 1988. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year, make, and model.
What are signs this switch may need replacing?
An oil pressure warning light that stays on, stays off, or reads erratically can indicate a failed switch. Diagnose first, since these signs can also mean actual low oil pressure.
What does "w/light" mean?
It indicates this switch is the type that operates the oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel, signaling the driver when pressure falls outside the set range.
