Can anyone please tell me where the oil pressure switch is on a 325i?
Ive looked in the useless haynes book but I cant find it!

Also, does anyone know what the part number is?

Thanks.

The light goes out about 3k rpm, im going to get a switch and replace it, see if that does any good.

I put a new backbox on yesterday and its since then the light has come on but the car seems to drive just aswel as it always has.
