Purpose and function of the sensor

The presented sensor is dedicated to installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the bumper area. It is responsible for precisely detecting obstacles behind the car and transmitting a signal to the factory parking assistance system. This makes maneuvering in tight parking spaces more predictable and reduces the risk of body damage.

The placement on the vehicle in the rear body zone allows for effective monitoring of the space behind the car, which is particularly important when reversing in limited visibility. Stable cooperation with BMW electronics ensures appropriate sensitivity and repeatability of readings.

Color matching Karmesinrot - A61

The Karmesinrot - A61 color is a factory finish used on BMW bodies, allowing the sensor to blend harmoniously into the bumper line. The absence of color contrasts allows for maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the rear of the vehicle without the need for additional painting of the component.

Color consistency with the body paint is important not only visually but also practically – a properly matched sensor does not require additional finishing work, which shortens installation time and reduces service costs.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered parking sensor is a used part, sourced from dismantling. Such components are often chosen as an economical alternative to new parts, while maintaining the original design and compatibility with the vehicle's installation. Factory origin promotes proper fitment to the electrical harness and mounts in the bumper.

In the case of automotive electronics, such as parking sensors, it is essential that the component maintains proper operating parameters and is compatible with the vehicle's diagnostic system. A used OEM sensor meets these requirements, provided it has been correctly verified before re-installation.

Benefits of using an original BMW sensor

Using an original sensor in the rear bumper of the BMW E83 LCI allows for maintaining the full functionality of the parking assistance system without the need for installation adaptation. Key advantages include:

• maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the parking system,
• proper fitment to the mounting sockets in the bumper,
• color consistency with the Karmesinrot - A61 paint,
• no need for electrical harness modifications.

Thanks to this, the installation proceeds in an orderly manner, and the user receives a solution consistent with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
