Outside Temperture Sensor Location

[dave mcdevon]

I have a 2001 330ci and hit a tire shard in the road today and now my
outside temperture sensor reads -40F. I found the wire hanging down from the front left bumper. Question; the sensor is either gone(there is a small cradle that looks like something was plugged in or the wire clips back into someplace that I can not locate. Any help on where the wire plugs into or where the piece is locationed would be greatly appreciated. Possible website that shows a graphic of the area and sensor. Many thanks in advance.

The sensor is located in brake duct (left one).It is right next to the fog light. If you look underneath, you will see a little thing that is sticking out. That's your sensor.
