My ambient temperature sensor is displaying a static +50°C. Is that just a bad sensor, or something more ominous?

bad sensor, or wiring problem. i replaced that sensor, and also the plug, because the wires were damaged too close to the plug - i spliced a new connector and extra wire in, with butt connectors - maybe check there first? i did wrap them very tightly in electrical tape (or i shrink-wrapped it), so if you find a bulge in the wiring, that's it.Originally Posted by 704sw
or maybe a rock got kicked up and knackered the sensor? it does point itself downward, towards the front of the car at about a 45º angle. right behind the driver's side foglight, in the plastic tray.

I think its indicating copious amounts of rust build-up for your car in the future

I’ll have to check it out tonight. It’s just strange that it is sitting at exactly 50.0°C unless it’s designed to do that intentionally.bad sensor, or wiring problem. i replaced that sensor, and also the plug, because the wires were damaged too close to the plug - i spliced a new connector and extra wire in, with butt connectors - maybe check there first? i did wrap them very tightly in electrical tape (or i shrink-wrapped it), so if you find a bulge in the wiring, that's it.

Unrelated that *that* problem: is the ~3000-3300 stumble a vanos issue? It doesn’t do it in 1st or 2nd, but 3rd and up are really bad (progressively getting worse).

No, it reads 50°C if it does not have a reading from the sensor.
I don’t think that stumble is related to the Vanos. I’ve rebuilt the Vanos in my ZHP and it did not fix it.

Small chance, but bump.Anybody have a guess what pads these are?
They've held up grate for track use, so much so that one of my instructors who runs track pads on his m3 wanted to know what they are.
No numbers or identification of any kind in it

Hard to say what they are with no identifying marks on them. Can you tell if they were painted at all? Aftermarket will sometimes paint the steel backing plate
