Important Compatibility Notice:
Before purchasing, please carefully verify that this camshaft position sensor (Part Number: 12141703221) is fully compatible with your specific vehicle model, year, engine code, and production date. While this part is designed for many BMW models, compatibility can vary significantly depending on regional specifications, engine variants, and manufacturing updates—even within the same model year or country.
For example:
• A 1998 BMW E36 328i sold in Europe may use a different engine management system than one sold in North America or Japan.
• Some vehicles built late in a model year may already include updated sensors or revised wiring harnesses.
• Engine displacement alone (e.g., 2.8L) does not guarantee compatibility—always cross-check with your original OEM part number or VIN-based lookup.
