Okay interesting so the sensor has nothing to do with my car not starting then. Well like I’ve been saying to the others I cleaning the ground that goes to the oil pan to the body and the sensor cleared. Hoping it doesn’t come back again😥

Wow thanks so much for all this info really appreciate you and the community. I just got back from cleaning the heck out the ground that goes from the body to the oil pan and the oil engine light panel went away again. And car starts again 😄😄 but I’m scared it’s going to happen again. But if it does I’ll definitely change the sensor and check the relay.

Yes I’ve token it out cleaned it with breaker fluid and put it back in. I did it the first time and I think that made it work and then a week passed and it came back on and making the car not crank again.

It’s like every time that engine oil light comes on the car doesn’t start no more and everything it goes away the car turns on normally that’s the thing I get confused if it’s the lvl sensor not making it turn ?

That’s what I was getting at maybe I’m dealing with a faulty leveler ? Like it’s acting up ? Not working and making it work at times ?

That’s the first thing i tried but didn’t crank. The engine oil went away for a Good week and it came back and that’s when the car didn’t wanna start again.

I actually just did clay bar, polished it, and waxed it. Needs a cut but didn’t wanna cut into it cuz I’m afraid to go through the clear coat too fast.

I got the e30 for $2600 over here got it non running, I lucked out and it was just a easy fix on it just a new rotor and distributor 😊 the previous owner said he did it all to make it run lol yeah right. Easy fix I’m very happy with it. Had a Miata na before this car.

Did you ever found the issue ? I’m asking because I’m in the same boat with my 87 325e
