My BMW E36 had some ignition problems and its been parked for more than a year now and I thought of reviving it. The mechanic who is looking at it says the problem is the ignition sensor. I called the local BMW dealer and they told me there is nothing called an electronic sensor. The part I want is where the ignition switch plugs into. I need to know the actual name so I can order the part. The previous mechanic who looked at the car lost the thing so I dont have a sample now.

Show this to your mechanic, i dont know if this is what you are looking for but this is a pic of were your key goes in.
Thats the pic I got from the BMW dealer. What I want is that part where #3 ( I believe that's the ignition switch) plugs into.

on a corsa, just below the key setup, fits a little box, witch pick up the key sense, making sure it is the correct key, and that is called a electronic sensor.
I think it is called a transponder or similar.

Do you want the part which is yellow or blue?
The blue part
It is an ignition switch backset connector. Normally soldd as a whole assembly with part no 3 attached. 3 is moulded and the connector at the other end has one-way brass pins inside a clip-on connector
