Bosch Oxygen Sensor P/N:17487
Give your engine computer accurate exhaust feedback with the Bosch sensor 13231, a switching-type oxygen sensor designed to send precise air-fuel-ratio readings to the ECU for stable combustion control and to help reduce emissions. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-1995 BMW 318i, 1992-1995 BMW 318is and 1995 BMW 318ti, as a direct-fit replacement in the upstream position for the listed applications.

Bosch developed the original thimble-style oxygen sensor in 1976 and has supplied vehicle manufacturers for more than 50 years. That OE background carries into this aftermarket Bosch O2 sensor.
Signs an upstream oxygen sensor may need replacing include an illuminated check engine light, a rough idle, hesitation or a drop in fuel economy. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system before you replace the sensor.
