2006 730d M57 - Oil Pressure reading

[bigdadda76]

Hi all

I bought a lovely 730d with 215,000 miles on it for 1000 quid and it runs superbly and I was surprised how powerful it was. The car is near immaculate apart from an anooying Oil PRessure Warning on the iDrive once every few weeks particularly in hot weather. There doesnt seem to be any issue with oil pressure and I wondered if it was just the sensor? Any advice welcome?

Yup; replace the sensor.

Had this on a 2006 E65 730D Sport myself a few years back

Can't for the life of me remember as it was late 2017

Think this is it though:
