Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented sensor is dedicated to installation in the front part of BMW F-series vehicles, where it is responsible for precise obstacle detection during maneuvering. It integrates with the factory PDC system, supporting the driver with acoustic and visual signals, which facilitates parking in tight spaces and reduces the risk of damage to the bumper and body components.

Its placement in the front bumper allows for effective monitoring of the zone directly in front of the vehicle, which is particularly important in cars with a longer front end or limited visibility from the driver's seat.

Color and visual fit

The sensor is finished in Alpine White 3 - 300, which allows for an aesthetic match to the factory BMW paint in this shade. As a result, the component does not visually stand out from the bumper surface, and the whole maintains a consistent, orderly appearance without the need for additional painting.

Such color matching is particularly beneficial when replacing a single sensor after local damage – it allows for restoring the original look of the car's front without interfering with a larger paint area.

Technical characteristics and integration with the PDC system

As an item from the Parking sensors category for the BMW brand, the component has been designed to work with the factory electrical installation and the PDC controller. The appropriate operating characteristics, detection angle, and sensitivity are adjusted to the manufacturer's requirements, which translates into stable operation of the parking assistance system.

In practice, this means:

• proper communication with the PDC control module,
• consistent operation with other sensors in the bumper,
• maintenance of the factory driver warning logic.

Thanks to this, replacing a damaged element with the presented sensor allows for restoring full system functionality without the need for installation modifications.

Product condition and service application

The item is offered in Used condition, which makes it an attractive service solution for users looking for original BMW components at a reasonable price. A used parking sensor is a good solution for post-accident repairs, local bumper damage, or restoring the efficiency of the PDC system after a single sensor failure.

Choosing an original, used component allows you to maintain the factory operating parameters of the system while reducing costs compared to purchasing a new part.

Selection, compatibility, and technical knowledge

When selecting a parking sensor for a specific BMW model, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the vehicle's equipment and installation parameters. Manufacturer markings, part numbers, and data from service catalogs can be helpful, which minimizes the risk of installing an incorrect component.
