Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented parking sensor is dedicated to installation in the rear part of the BMW F07 series vehicle, in the rear bumper. It operates within the PDC system, assisting the driver during maneuvering in tight parking spaces, reversing, and precise approaching of obstacles.

This component works with the factory electrical installation and the PDC controller, which allows for maintaining the original logic of the system – audible signals and visual warnings on the vehicle screen remain consistent with factory settings.

Color and visual fit

The sensor is finished in Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76, which allows for aesthetic integration into a bumper painted in the same color. As a result, there is no need for additional painting of the element after installation, and the bumper surface maintains a consistent, factory look.

Such color matching is particularly important during post-accident repairs or when replacing a single sensor – it minimizes the risk of shade differences and improves the overall appearance of the rear part of the body.

Technical characteristics and integration with BMW

As a part designed for BMW, the sensor has been engineered for proper cooperation with the original wiring and mounting brackets in the bumper. The appropriate connection socket and housing shape facilitate installation and ensure stable seating in the mounting hole.

The element has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration. In practice, this means the possibility of a direct replacement of a damaged sensor without the need for installation modifications.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used sensor

The sensor comes from disassembly and is offered as a used original BMW component. Such components are frequently chosen by users who want to maintain factory quality and fitment while reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new part.

Choosing an original, used PDC sensor is also an ecological benefit – reusing functional elements reduces waste and aligns with the idea of responsible vehicle operation.

Practical installation tips and electronics selection

Before installation, it is worth verifying the compatibility of the sensor with your BMW F07, especially in terms of equipment version and the used PDC system. It is recommended to compare the housing shape, connector type, and placement on the vehicle (rear).
