I need to resurrect this thread.

I need to replace my oil pressure switch and after taking the airbox out and getting some industrial strength work lights to help me see I am pretty sure my X5 does not match the diagram above.

I have a 3.0i E53 X5. I took some pics and I can post them later today when i get back from work.

But here's the thing:

Where item 12 (oil pressure switch) is in place, there's no item 13 on my X5. So, this is what throws me off.

Item 13, marked as the temperature sensor, seems to be pointing towards where the No 10 gasket ring is...

Has anyone else taken pics of their oil pressure sensor? before I remove it I want to make sure I'm removing the correct one.

Also, how do you actually unscrew it? It doesn't seem to have enough room to turn a wrench around.
