Stock wideband O2 sensors?
Does anyone have a list of the vehicles that come from the factory with wideband o2 sensors? I've heard the Civic VX is one, and my friend says his 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS has one also. I'd be interested to know which vehicles have one, and what type they are--to see if they will work with the diy-wbO2 kit.

Re:Stock wideband O2 sensors?
I had to pay $130 for one new o2 sensor on my obd2 1997 m3. actually I bought two so you do the math. It sucked. I was thinking they had to be wideband because no way narrowband would cost that much.

I work at a BMW dealership, the techs all said they were WB's but they were some sort of different type of deal then the rest of them, I looked at the plug on the sensors, they have like 10+ pins i'm not sure what it's about. it doesn't matter much as we're not going to be able to use 'em anytime soon and If we were you'dd still have to pay a rediculous amount of money for one. I'd say stick with the L1H1 of the bosch mamajamma, tried and true is good enough for me

EDIT:
