Been reading messages from all those looking for a new fuel sender, as the originals getting (very) scares..
So understand the original goes from 3-108 Ohm.
As I don’t believe BMW developed this sender for just our bikes, did a quick search for that resistance band and fuel sender - got this back

This unit (PN 83320-3520) Even looks similar except the float. And from there found that the Toyota TJ40 and various BMW cars used this.
So those might be more readily available (and still new).
You obviously still need to get this fitted and the float working - but if you have a broken original, this might be a way to get parts to restore original ones…
Just a thought - I didn’t need to do this yet!
Cheers,
Y
