Bosch 16417 oxygen sensor for the 2012-2017 BMW 640i 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles reads the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust and reports it to the ECU. As a downstream Bosch O2 sensor, it gives the ECU the feedback it needs for stable combustion control and helps reduce emissions.
- Advanced ceramic element with optimized heater control for consistent readings under harsh thermal loads
- Built to withstand exhaust streams up to 1,880°F
- Metal housing, integrated heater element and TSP coating resist vibration, corrosion and contamination
- Reaches operating temperature in under 10 seconds for quick closed-loop control and cold-start performance
