What is the cost of replacing the O2 sensor in BMW 528i?

I plan to buy this used BMW 528i. The O2 sensor needs to be replaced. What is the cost of replacing this? part? labor? Thanks.What is the cost of replacing the O2 sensor in BMW 528i?About $100 in part with 1 hour labor. BMW uses Bosch O2 sensor. I usually buy the part and do it myself. Takes 15 minutes tops.



The thing you have to know is that if this car has been driven with bad O2 sensor, then your Cat. converter also gets trashed. And without good cat, you won't pass emission. This is $1500 part from dealer, $400 good after market, $150 for poor quality that fall a part in a year. Potentially, the repair can be pretty expensive. Also if the car is not high mileage, then bad O2 sensor usually indicates more problem in the system, which may require engine tune up or even cylinder rebuild. Without addressing these problems, replacing O2 sensor would just extend the time. Check engine light would go on within few months again.



Common sense tells me that replacing O2 sensor is relatively cheap operation, why would the owner trying to sell the car as it is? Unless it has more serious problem?What is the cost of replacing the O2 sensor in BMW 528i?

Wont it be wise.



wish u luck.What is the cost of replacing the O2 sensor in BMW 528i?There are two O2 sensors and you should replace them both. They are easy to get at after you jack up the car. An open end wrench is used to unscrew them after you unplug the connector. They run 70 to 85 dollars each. Labor should be no more than one hour, about 110 or $125.



Beware, however, that the cheaper code readers for the BMW will throw the code for replace the O2 Sensor for a variety of problems with the air and exhaust systems, such as cracks in the air intake manifold (which is what my 530i once had). If you can, have the codes read by a certified BMW mechanic, just to make certain that all that is wrong is the O2 Sensor, which , frankly, I doubt, since it is all too easy to replace them and then sell the car for more money than as it is now--with a check engine light on.
