Oil Level Sensor Options?

[BMWE46M3]

I need to replace my oil level sensor and Hella (Hella Oil Level Sensor 6PR007868031) stopped producing these so the prices have skyrocketed. I refuse to put any URO parts on my car. Any ideas where I can get a reasonably priced replacement? Thanks...

try eBay, maybe someone has Hella inventory still

Bremmen also is an alternative. I don't know much about them as I would have definitely gone the Hella route too. You could just put the cheaper one in until the Hella one becomes available on ebay or even a cheap BMW one. I used to buy factory BMW parts all the time on ebay just waiting for a deal to come up so I'd have extra stock when I needed it.

I paid $97 Feb 2024 for one on Rockauto, so I guess not too bad if you need one. I'll run mine until failure at this point, then replace.

EDIT: Wrong, I paid $45.79. Dang, that's a price increase. Should have bought 5 of them.

Bought mine (Hella) for $40 in July 2024.

Hella seem to be somewhat readily available around $110-130 AUD in Australia. So about USD70-85. Certainly not USD150.

Shipping not exactly practical for you US guys but shows there is stock around.

[BMWE46M3]

So the least expensive option I've found is at of all places Autozone. They have the Hella for $78. Thanks everyone for your feedback...

Just tried to buy one from Autozone.... Out of Stock 🤣
