Purpose and function in the vehicle

The sensor is a component of the rear PDC system, responsible for monitoring the space behind the vehicle while reversing and parking. It works with the factory BMW electronics, generating warning signals based on reflected ultrasonic waves. Its placement in the rear zone of the body ensures effective detection of obstacles located directly behind the bumper.

This solution is particularly useful in modern BMW models, where precise parking in tight spaces is a daily operational scenario. A functional PDC sensor reduces the risk of minor parking collisions and bumper damage.

Color matching – Portimao Blue Metallic

The presented item is finished in Portimao Blue Metallic - C31, used as a factory standard in current BMW models. Thanks to this, the sensor can be installed without interfering with the paint coating, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. At the same time, visual consistency of the rear bumper is maintained, which is essential for premium class vehicles.

Choosing a sensor in the correct color is important not only from an aesthetic point of view but also for the vehicle's resale value – a part matched to the paint looks like a factory-fitted component and shows no signs of repair.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered sensor comes from a group of used BMW components, which allows for combining an attractive purchase price with the preservation of the manufacturer's original specifications. Such elements are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, parktronic adjustments after bumper replacement, or restoring full functionality of the PDC system after a single sensor failure.

Replacing a sensor with an original equivalent from dismantling is a technically safe solution, provided that compatibility with the vehicle's installation and placement is maintained. This allows the PDC system to operate stably, without diagnostic errors or interference in communication with the control module.

Benefits of using an original PDC sensor

• preservation of the factory performance characteristics of the BMW parking system,
• aesthetic match to the Portimao Blue Metallic paint,
• possibility of replacing a single element without interfering with other sensors,
• reduction of repair costs thanks to the use of a used part,
• restoration of full functionality of the rear PDC system after sensor damage.
