Speed, this is the main purpose why the BMW 3 Series vehicle is built. This small size luxury vehicle is manufactured by BMW that offers great speed record that can bring your from 0 to 60 mph in only lees than 6 seconds. The BMW 3 series line up has several types of vehicle including 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, convertible, and a touring series. It encases an engine that can produce a more or less 250 brake horsepower (BHP). However, you cannot enjoy and monitor its high speed if you don’t have or have a faulty speed sensor.

A speed sensor is a magnetic device that relies mainly on magnet as the sensing element to take the rotational or linear speed. The BMW 3 series speedometer is typically driven by a cable that is connected on the pinion gear of the transmission system. This gear meshes with the transmission’s output shaft directly and the pinion gear which has teeth anywhere from 16 to 23 depending on the differential the model is using. The speed sensor is connected from the tip of the cable in which it is linked to the speedometer.

The technology used in a BMW 3 series speed sensor in a magnetic type sensor may include magneto-resistive, inductive, variable reluctance, and Hall Effect. The magneto-resistive technology offers the sensor the resistance in the sensing element which provides the function to sense the direction of the vehicle. The inductive sensor is an oscillator type circuit that generates an electro-magnetic field that radiates from a ferrite core and coil assembly. All components are working together to feel or to calculate the speed of your BMW.

In choosing the right BMW 3 Series speed sensor, there are several specifications you may consider including rotary speed range and accuracy. Rotary speed is measured in revolutions per minute and is for gear or belt driven speeds. The accuracy is the most important since this will make your reading factual. The BMW 3 Series speed sensor is assured to be fitted on your vehicle since this is manufactured specifically to 3 series models.
