Walker Products Oxygen Sensor P/N:350-34598
Walker Products 350-34178 oxygen sensor for the 2001-2006 BMW M3 6-cylinder 3.2L and other vehicles measures the oxygen in the exhaust gas to show how efficiently the engine burns fuel. This upstream sensor gives the ECU the readings it uses to monitor the air fuel ratio.
A failing sensor can show up as the engine running poorly, higher fuel use or a lit check-engine light. A damaged wiring harness or connector can be behind these signs too, so track down the cause before you buy a sensor. This listing is one sensor, for the single upstream position.
It is a direct-fit oxygen sensor for the 2001-2006 BMW M3 6-cylinder 3.2L and for the 2001-2002 BMW Z3 6-cylinder 3.2L.
Fit and size
Build and materials
Is the Walker Products 350-34178 the right oxygen sensor for a 2001-2002 BMW Z3 6-cylinder 3.2L?
Yes. The Walker Products 350-34178 is listed for the 2001-2002 BMW Z3 6-cylinder 3.2L, as well as the 2001-2006 BMW M3 6-cylinder 3.2L, and goes in the upstream position.
Is this Walker Products oxygen sensor narrow-band or wideband?
It is a narrow-band sensor with 4 wires. It determines the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and monitors the air fuel ratio.
What thread size does the 350-34178 oxygen sensor have?
The Walker Products 350-34178 has an M18 - 1.5 thread. It is made for the upstream position, and one sensor is needed per application.
Can a failing upstream oxygen sensor store a fault code?
Yes, it can. Newer vehicles store fault codes in the ECU, and some relate to the affected sensor and its associated systems.
What does the platinum coating on this oxygen sensor do?
The electrodes are made of a gas-permeable platinum layer, and the coating shields the electrode surfaces from contamination and erosion by combustion residue and particulates in the exhaust.
