Vehicle Application and Function

The presented sensor belongs to the Parking Sensors category and is a component of the rear PDC system in BMW vehicles. It is responsible for measuring the distance to obstacles behind the vehicle and transmitting signals to the control unit, which generates audible or visual warnings for the driver. A properly functioning rear sensor significantly simplifies maneuvering in tight parking spaces, during reversing, and when approaching walls, posts, or other vehicles.

Its placement in the rear of the vehicle allows for full utilization of the factory parking assistance system, and the use of an original BMW component minimizes the risk of communication errors with the vehicle's electrical system and control units.

Color and Body Integration

The sensor is finished in Brooklyn Grey Metallic - C4P, allowing for an aesthetic match with the bodywork in this color without the need for additional painting. This ensures:

• visual consistency with the factory paint,
• reduced installation and finishing time,
• minimized risk of color discrepancies between the sensor and the bumper element.

Selecting a sensor in the correct color is particularly important for modern BMW models, where body details are clearly visible, and uniform coloring impacts the overall perception of the vehicle.

Technical Characteristics and Compatibility

As an original BMW part, the sensor is designed to work with the factory PDC system in models F70, F74, G60, G61, and X3 G45. This ensures proper operating parameters, such as sensitivity, detection range, and communication method with the vehicle's electrical system. The presence of a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers facilitates verification of compatibility with specific car configurations.

Before purchasing, it is advisable to compare the markings with the currently installed part or use VIN-based selection to ensure the sensor will work correctly with the existing electronic system and control unit software.

Condition, Origin, and Practical Application

The offered sensor is from a range of used BMW components, allowing for economical repair of the PDC system while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial in cases of mechanical damage to the bumper or individual parking system elements, where replacing the entire kit is not necessary.

In practice, replacing a single sensor is often sufficient to restore full functionality to the parking assistance system. Installation in the factory location, using the original connector, minimizes service work and preserves the original geometry and placement of elements in the bumper.
