Hello everyone!! I have a E39 (2001), the outside temperature display is reading over
-Dan
The sensor is located in the right front wheel well area. After mine was damaged it read -40 (in southern California).
Thanks very much.. it is in that area where i had a problem.. so maybe the sensor is broken.. Im reading 118F in the middle of the winter here in NY do you know what does it look like? and would u know where or how to get that part?? or do i have to go to the dealer directly???

I suspect your hit caused the sensor to fail and read near maximum (when it's disconnected or fails outright it reads -40F).
It's located right behind and below the front bumper/spoiler (bodywork) far right side in a slight indentation in the black plastic. It's a pretty simple R&R. You'll have to get the part at your local stealer.

Are you sure this isn't just another good example of the effects of global warming?
