Bosch Oxygen Sensor P/N:15521
Bosch 17037 oxygen sensor for the 2006 BMW 323i 6-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles measures the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust and reports it to the ECU. This oxygen sensor is a wide-band type for the upstream position.
A lit check engine light, higher fuel use or a rough idle can mean the sensor is wearing out. Those signs alone do not prove it, since a vacuum leak can throw off the readings in the same way. If the sensor is the cause, this one replaces it.
The 2006 BMW 323i 6-cylinder 2.5L, the 2006 BMW 325i 6-cylinder 3.0L and the 2006 BMW 325xi 6-cylinder 3.0L are among the BMW models this sensor fits. If your BMW is not named here, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab. This listing is one sensor, and the fitment lists one for the upstream position.
