Hi guys.

I had a E-Gear warning sign on the dashboard and thought it could be a problem with the relay for the pump. I heard that they often fail. The retail price is around 80 Euros. The number is 07L905107

It's behind the passenger seat and named "Tyco V23134-B57-X203". I found it difficult to buy so I searched for an alternative.

I found a better one with 50A instead of the original 30A.

BMW Part Nr: 61 36 1 393 403 (Tyco V23134-B57-X125)

It's the ABS Relay for an E36 328i

It cost only 13 Euros and I waited only half a day.

It's working perfectly for me. I hope the error is not coming back. But it's the cheapest attempt to change the relay.

Hope this helps.

Post a pic of the relay? That's one heck of a deal/find.

This price is after my discount - funny thing is they are selling them on Ebay for almost $60.00
You can get this relay at any BMW parts dealer.
Below is my invoice and the part#

The reason these go bad it due to the draw that is withstands. Its close to the relays capacity at 30amps - reaching the limits over and over tends foul out the relays especially of they are under seized on load bearing.
This one is a 50amp and should withstand properly without having to replace it.

Guess only time will tell.!!! Hope tis helps others...….

Im hoping this will fix my shifting issue.
"sometimes*
When I shift into 1st gear - nothing happens, I shift it again and goes directly into 2nd gear. I fell the car stumbles and I throw it into neutral, shift again and its normal....
If anyone had these issues, please comment!!!!

Thanks

the Ferrari guys use the same relay in the f355, you already have these part numbers for the first two in this thread, but they also suggest a further improved relay.


"Original 355F1 Relay: SIEMENS / Tyco V23134-B57-X203
Updated Relay with increased Longevity: Tyco V23134-B57-X152
Further improved version: SIEMENS 8366646 / Tyco V23134-B57-X266 "

I installed that BMW relay in my 06 Gallardo SE one week ago. To be clear the pump works quicker now.
P.S. Disassembling/Assembling rear passenger's dash panel was tricky, too tight. Lamborghini Designers did not want somebody to do it regularly back and forth.
