Have had a look at listings on the OEM parts site and failed to find the loom socket listed, if BMW do not supply a replacement then try a breakers for the socket which would require it being wired into your broken end by solder jointing and shrink wrapping the joints to make it waterproof. If you are removing the actual sensor expect to break it and have a replacement ready, you can find them on Ebay for reasonable money. The sensor is a tight fit and corrosion seizes them even more in place often requiring them to be chiseled out which destroys them.
Hi thanks for that sure I seen them on a site but cannot remember where it was, the complete plug both parts oh well looks like it's the breakers for me

I presume you mean the plug that the ABS sensor fits into.It is not shown on RealOEM under the Z banner but if you go to the exploded view of the wiring for the E36 you will find it.It is numbered 61128376019.Ignore the price it is not priced as advertised. It comes with a mile long wire so you will have to cut it to suit and splice it in. The wire colours are different so you will have to work out the matching colours to the existing loom. I have recently done it and its not too difficult.

That's the plug that comes with the sensor as a complete unit. I think it is the female socket she wants,but could be wrong!
This is the plug off the car, I've just cut it off!

The diagram seems to show the loom end is a male end that fits into a female end on the sensor, Brians picture looks like the sensor end (female)

Yes you're right. Getting my males confused with my females.Very dangerous at my age. The sensor carries a female socket and the loom wire a male plug. The part mentioned above is the correct fitting i.e. male plug on a long wire but Brian's kind offer is what she needs I think.
Here you go, is this what you are looking for?
If it is Pm me you address and I'll post it to you.
Hi Brian sure that's the correct part not sure how to pm u thick at this ps love killin especially the falls and the pub
Many thanks Brian
Hi Brian thank you once again for your help unfortunatly it's different from the original looks very simeral will have to go to a breakers see if I can pick one up if you send me your address I will send it back to you . It must be a later model it's off mines is 1998 import from Japan but as you know they were all built in America once again thank u Jane
