The radiator used on E82/E9X N51 SULEV models contains an Environmental Air Catalyst sensor that BMW does not sell separately. This sensor is part of the SULEV emissions equipment on N51-powered 128i and 328i models. As many owners have found out, BMW simply will not sell the replacement sensor alone. This URO Parts EAC sensor is a cost-effective solution, saving you from buying a complete radiator just to fix a bad sensor.
This part is listed as part number 17117537292R and is described as URO Parts EAC (Environmental Air Catalyst) Sensor for BMW E82/E88 128i N51 SULEV (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) and E90/E92/E93 328i N51 SULEV (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013). The engine code on these SULEV engines is N51B30A, which all came with 6-speed automatic transmissions.
The BimmerWorld View: We've been hearing about this issue for years, and there's finally an aftermarket solution for it! If you're an N51 SULEV owner who JUST needs the replacement air catalyst sensor integrated into the special SULEV radiator, URO is the first to (finally) offer a working solution!
