we own a 1995 740 IL, and one day it died on us. We had to get it towed to our house. In any case my brother had a friend look at it and said it was a crankshaft sensor. We got the part, but the problem is we really can't afford to have it towed somewhere then pay for the labor they charge. I was wondering if anyone knew anyone who could help, we live in West Seattle. Also they brake lights dont work either.

If anyone can help or knows someone who can help, without having to pay a fortune please call anytime. thanks to anyone who can help

The CPS isn't to difficult to take off. Mabye you could try it yourself?

I pull my car into the garage and work in the buff, don't you LOL. The CPS is way easy to do, just 1 bolt, or 2 if you've got VANOS.
