If you are gettig a "pre-heat circuit" failure, then this is NOT related to their 'function'...when the car starts up, immediately power is delivered to the sensors to warm them up- this is different that the sensing function (this is why there are 4 wires to each). Look at the wiring diagram, see of there is a common fuse (on other BMWs there IS and it is NOT in the fuse box (!!!!)). Or look at the common connector underneath for damage.

Ard, would you happen to know where the fuse(s) to the O2 sensors are on the X5 4.8? I know that on some other BMWs they are under a cover in the engine compartment with the DME. Before contorting myself to replace the pre-cat sensor, I want to take a look at the fuse. All the wiring I can follow seems intact.
BTW, the actual codes are for Lambda probe heater front catalyst, control and Lambda probe front catalyst, electrical error.
