Dorman 601-006 Intelligent Battery Sensor Compatible with Select BMW/Mini Models

Works like original at 1/2 the price but requires an adapter for the 535XI

That part arrive on time, that's the good part. However, the sensor connection is different from the one installed on my BMW. The new one is 3 prong oval shaped, the ole is compromise of two connections one a circle the other oval shape. If you need an adapter is not even mention on the product page. So is going right back in the box. I should have balk at buying it when there was no picture of the connector. See picture.

It kind of fits a 2007 BMW X5, you will have to buy the adapter and it is oriented a little different.

This cable is not the same type than the original for BMW x5 E70, need to have an adapted conection (sell separatly)They may not advertised as compatibleNot opinion about quality as I did not used

Lug head like me installed it. Works perfect.

The picture doesn't show it ( i was looking because it seemed like an issue from various online sources), but the connector is not the same, so therefore not an exact replacement. It is hugely frustrating. I am looking for proper adapter, might have to return. Would have been nice to have a better look at the part, or a better description as to whats additional items are needed to fit my 2008 528I (E60)
