yeah, you're pushing that line really, really hard :lol: you BMW guys are nuts.
that said, considering the age and mileage, that's not a bad run for a bunch of sensors. i guess now that you have pimpy wheels on the outside its only right to have a pimpy wheel on the inside...
Yeah, we're nuts. When I tell people I'm thinking about a 1.8T A4 as a daily and everyone flips out and tells me with a theatrical thousand yard stare about how all the electrical problems will break my spirit and make me sell all my worldly possessions and live in a hut, and I'm like "just..... save it."

It might be easier to just wait until the next time the motor is out. :roll: In all seriousness though, mine started to fail gently with lots of warning (like 18 months, lol) so you can probably just wait until you catch the CEL winking at you when you clutch in and then replace them. I could probably bang it out pretty quick on the second go round.
