When I changed the head on my e28, I left it off by mistake. It came on sporadicly (spelling?) until I realized what I did.

[Bimmerista]

If the wire is brittle, yes it can break off.

Clean the area around it with some brake cleaner. Then see if the problem persists.

[franco90]

do you think I hit the wire by accident when I replace the oil filter.

[Bimmerista]

what does the part looks like so if I understand this correct I am looking for oil presure sensor Correct?..

Thats right...the oil pressure sensor can be found close to the oil filter. If I remember correctly, its the closest part to the oil filter with a wire. Best way to get to it is to raise the front of the car.

Looks something similar to this

Well either your oil pressure is too low to leave the engine running.. or its faulty.

You can either guess its faulty and ignore a potentially fatal warning light, or you can replace it and see if the light stays off.
