My '85 325i had the sensors back there (there are 2 of them)

Think it was a standard fitment back there on the E30 if that's any help :)

From what I recall of the wiring on mine, the clip in sensor at the front of the engine is just rigged up to the diagnostic socket and doesn't tell the ECU anything.
