That plug is on the rear of the lower timing cover, have you looked to see if it's shown on that cover?
GG should know.

I looked it up. I'm assuming that's the right part but when checking part websites it says it doesn't work for the e39. So it threw me off

It’s a $5 part.
Take a gamble - if it works you can thank me later.
If it doesn’t, you can call me a Flamin’ Aussie ....... and post the correct part number.
