[V8] fun with a BMW & smoke out the rear pipes

[Ron Wainwright]

 Shawn,

  Thanks for the re,
 I've been getting 20ish on highway & 16-18 in city,
 but I did want to replace the Ox Sensor anyways car
has 86k so bout time plus it's the original sensor.
 Is the Bosch universal sensor (like $30) going to
work on the V8's?
 I think the # is 13913? Last time I bought the OE
sensor it was like $140 so I can just amagine what the
V8's would cost (since the price is in the connector),
 I don't have any hydraulic leaks thank GOD (as I saie
that very quietly so car doesn't hear me),
 engine bay is very clean.
Thanks
Ron
