Application and function in BMW X3 and 5 Series E60

The presented PDC sensor is designed for installation in the front bumper of BMW X3 and BMW 5 Series E60/E83 vehicles equipped with a factory parking system. As an ultrasonic component, it works with the PDC control module, generating warning signals when approaching obstacles in the front area. The proper operation of this sensor has a direct impact on:

• the accuracy of distance measurement from obstacles in front of the vehicle,
• correct information display on the onboard system screen,
• acoustic warnings for the driver during maneuvering.

Interlagos Blue Metallic A30 color and visual matching

The sensor is finished in Interlagos Blue Metallic A30, characteristic of BMW's sporty configurations. This ensures visual consistency with the bumper after installation, without the need for additional painting. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or when replacing a single sensor, where aesthetic matching to the existing body paint is a priority.

Benefits of using an original PDC sensor

Choosing an original parking sensor for your BMW offers a number of practical benefits in daily use:

• Factory geometry and connector – the sensor is ready for installation in the original bumper socket and for connection to the PDC wiring harness without any modifications.
• Stable cooperation with vehicle electronics – compatibility with the factory PDC module is maintained, which reduces the risk of system errors and dashboard warning messages.
• Restoration of parking functionality – replacing a damaged sensor restores the full functionality of the front parking assistance system.

Condition, installation, and part selection

The item is offered as a used PDC sensor, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original BMW specification. Before installation, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific body version and the vehicle's PDC system, as well as to check for proper seating in the bumper socket and the tightness of the electrical connection. A correctly selected and installed sensor contributes to the trouble-free operation of the parking assistant in city traffic and during maneuvers in tight spaces.
