    Adding Additional Coolant Temp Sensor on M54

    Just completed M54B30 swap into my E30. Going to run a Holley standalone dash that I have already purchased. Installation of dash/gauges is simple but I need some advice on where to install an additional temperature sensor. I would prefer not to put it in the radiator as I would like to get engine coolant temperature and not radiator coolant temperature. I need to retain the original sensor under the intake for my DME. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

    I've also been thinking about this. I want to run a separate water temp gauge, but need a place to tap into.

      I think the 5 series E39 has a temp sensor the same size and spec which is a dual sensor. You could replace the existing one and have the second output for the dash

        ORLY?

        Great find! Try 13621703993 ("Double Temperature Switch") for the sensor, though. 12521703571 is correct for the pigtail
