I measured a new FAE temperature sensor o-ring at approximately (it's rubber) 0.330" ID (8.382mm) and 0.115" thick (2.921mm).
That means the best-fit is indeed most likely BMW PN 13 62 1 743 299 (which is for the air temperature sensor in the intake manifold) which is known to be 8mm ID x 3mm Thickness.
It's so hard to find this information (I don't think it was ever published on the E39 forums; because I found it only on the E46 forums), that I am glad we finally got this resolved.
