Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented set includes two sensors from the Parking sensors category, mounted in the front part of the vehicle. The components work with the factory PDC system, responsible for measuring the distance from obstacles and transmitting the signal to the controller and acoustic or visual signaling on the display. This makes maneuvering in tight spaces more predictable and comfortable.

The front placement on the vehicle allows for precise detection of obstacles when approaching walls, posts, or other vehicles. Using dedicated sensors for specific BMW models reduces the risk of installation errors and electronic compatibility issues.

Color and visual fit

The sensors are finished in Monacoblau Metallic - A35, which allows for a consistent match with original BMW bumpers painted in this shade. As a result, after installation, the components do not stand out from the other body parts, and the PDC system retains its factory look.

Choosing the right color is not only important for aesthetics but also practical – it reduces the need for additional painting and shortens the time required for repairs or front-end upgrades.

Set characteristics and service application

The set of two sensors is suitable both for replacing damaged components and for comprehensive repair of the front bumper area after a collision. This makes it easier for service centers and workshops to replace a pair of sensors simultaneously, which is beneficial when diagnosing PDC system faults and restoring full system functionality.

The components come from the BMW brand, which helps maintain compatibility with the factory electrical installation and the operating parameters of the parking assistance system. For the user, this means predictable operation and correct integration with the vehicle's existing equipment.

Product condition and benefits of choosing used sensors

The offered set comes from the used parts group, which allows for an economical restoration of the PDC system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In many cases, used parking sensors are an attractive alternative to new components, especially in older vehicles where a reasonable repair cost is important while maintaining appropriate quality.
