E38 outside temp sensor

Post by jlnmd »

Ran over a curb with the right corner of car and knocked off the temp sensor. Body shop tells me I may need to replace the entire bumper. Any harm in driving the car without the sensor?

There's no real harm, but with the cluster temp indicator reading -40 .. you'll be upset next summer when the AC doesn't work.
The outside temp info is used by the climate control system.for the heater,it'll be ok for now because it will default extreme cold outside temps.
