The wire going into the coolant level sensor broke off today, just where it joins the rubber plug. Are there any other BMWs with a similar plug that I can scavenge, or do I have to find another E30 and hope the wires aren't as perished?

Yeah, it's the later one with the straight pins. I know the plugs themselves are the same diameter as all the other plugs (headlights, indicators etc), but all those are 90-degree elbows and these ones are straight.

I uncliped the 90° plastic housing from the connectors heatshrinked the ends for insulation when I made my fan loom
