Doing some maintenance on my 1991, 325i - figured at 90k it was time to replace the O2 sensor.

However, having jacked the care up, no O2 sensor in sight. I know the Motronic 1.0 didn't use the lambada sensor, but I thought all post-1988 cars used the 1.3 system?

Anyone able to shed any light on this?

Cheers.

All six cylinder E30s and all but the last of the four pots will run happily with or without a lambda sensor.
