What about trying your nearest BMW people?
The engine is the M51D - (I think!)

thought BMW might be even more expensive.

You may well be pleasantly surprised cost-wise, I was when I got an oil-filter housing gasket from them. Good service too!
No harm in contacting them ......

You'd be suprised mate at how much the little bits cost, they're actually cheaper than most other dealers  :y

not that it makes a difference, but yours is a U25DT, not X25DT ;)

Pretty certain I gave my spare to Omegatoy

Thanks,BMW say £85 (would still have to order it)and the guy was really helpful,gave me a list of all the bm's that use the same sensor(quite a lot.)Still seems pricey for what it is and i never won the lottery this week so i,m still shopping around,(without any luck yet)..and did manage to break mine taking it out,was well jammed in,plastic's out of shape/swelled in the middle,that's why it was stuck. so cars off the road for now.
On the plus side my neighbour was well happy to take the fine copper wire that came out the broken bit for her jewelery making so at least i might end up with i nice necklace or a bangle!
