Spectra S10320 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Spectra S10320 Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Spectra S10320 engine crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft speed and position to support ignition timing and engine RPM signal accuracy. It is a direct-fit replacement for select BMW applications, including BMW M3, M5, M6, 540i, Z8, 740i, 740iL, 750iL, 850Ci, and 840Ci.

Key Features

• Engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition timing and RPM signal input
• Helps eliminate the need for manual distributor timing on equipped engines
• Direct replacement for select BMW models with OE-style fitment
• Cross-references Delphi SS10892 and Standard Ignition PC302 for the same application
• Part number: S10320

Detailed Description

The Spectra S10320 is an ignition sensor used to read crankshaft position and engine speed so the engine control system can manage timing more accurately. This sensor is listed for BMW M3, BMW M5, and BMW M6 applications, along with BMW 540i, Z8, 740i, 740iL, 750iL, 850Ci, and 840Ci coverage across the model years shown in the fitment data. The part number S10320 is a practical reference when matching an OE-style crankshaft position sensor for these BMW platforms.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate crankshaft speed signal
• Intermittent stalling related to crankshaft position signal loss
• Rough running from incorrect ignition timing input
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft sensor faults
• RPM gauge or engine speed signal issues on supported vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style before ordering; some listed BMW M3 and BMW M6 applications require an angled socket with 2 terminals. Confirm the vehicle year, model, and engine configuration against the fitment list before installation. Inspect the harness and connector for corrosion or damage when replacing the sensor.

Quality Assurance

Built as a replacement ignition sensor for the listed BMW applications, the Spectra S10320 is intended to restore proper crankshaft position signal input for engine management and timing control.
