so i ordered knock sensors for my m50tu e36 and i'm pretty sure i got the wrong ones. I searched the part number and it does show that it fits my car...but the plugs dont match up. and the two i got, while having the same part number, aren't even the same.

old one is on top, new ones on bottom. note the different plug designs despite having the same part number
