Knock Sensor, Bosch - E39, E60, E63, E38, E65, E53, E70, M62TU, N62

This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 13627568421 and is described as an OEM knock sensor for M62TU and N62 V8 engines used in E39, E60, E63, E38, E65, E53, E70 models.

The knock - or ping - sensor is an acoustic sensor mounted to the side of the engine block. It listens for a distinctive "ping" sound when engine detonation/misfires occur. If enough misfires are detected the ECU immediately makes adjustments for one or more cylinders to avoid engine damage. A failing knock sensor will trip the check engine light and fault code.

This is an OEM ping sensor manufactured by Bosch - the original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other sensor. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
