Purpose and function of the set

The parking sensor set is designed to work with the factory parking assistance system in the BMW X3 E83 LCI. The ultrasonic sensors are responsible for precise distance measurement from obstacles and transmitting signals to the control unit, which generates acoustic or visual warnings for the driver. Using two units in one set facilitates the simultaneous replacement of a pair of components in the same bumper zone, which promotes uniform operation of the entire system.

Color and visual fit

The sensors are finished in the Silbergrau Metallic - A08 shade, allowing for a seamless match to bodywork in the same color or to factory-painted BMW bumpers in a similar tone. As a result, the components do not stand out from other body parts after installation, and the bumper area maintains a uniform, orderly appearance. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and when replacing individual, worn-out sensors.

Technical characteristics and installation

The ultrasonic parking sensors in this set are structurally adapted to the factory mounting sockets in the BMW X3 E83 LCI bumper. This means they can be installed in place of the original components without the need for mechanical or electrical modifications. The electrical connectors are prepared to work with the wiring harness used in this model, which facilitates connection and reduces the risk of installation errors.

As components from the Other category, these sensors play a complementary but essential role in the vehicle's maneuvering safety system. Replacing worn or damaged sensors with original components allows for restoring the proper operation of the PDC system, eliminating false alarms or lack of response to obstacles.

Product condition and practical application

The offered set comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair of the parking system while maintaining the original BMW specification. This type of solution is particularly advantageous for comprehensive service work on bumpers, PDC installations, or vehicle reconstruction after a collision. Using two sensors in one set makes it easier for technicians to plan work and ensures the consistency of the components used.
