I checked the ETK of your 740. It appears the two holes on the coolant
distribution header behind the engine where I indicated to you are
plugged which means the CTS's are moved somewhere else on E38. So
don't be surprised you don't find it tomorrow.

If you provide the part number, I am sure others can tell you where to
find it.

What's shown in the picture is not the right engine. It is mine 540
but it is getting a 4.0L from a 740. Hope it gives you an idea where
to look. Look between the rear of the engine and the firewall on the
passenger side.

I have a 98 740iL (production date 05/97).
I need to replace the coolant temperature sensor.
Ordered and received the part from AutoZone today.

Opened the hood and I cannot find it (LOL) ...
Nothing that resembles the part I have ...

Can someone guide to "exactly" where this "COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR" is
located on a 98 (production date 05/97) 740iL.

I have attempted to find "schematics" on-line without any luck.

Much appreciated.

Thanks In advance,
Cheers.
