Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented PDC sensor is a component mounted in the rear bumper area, responsible for measuring the distance from obstacles while reversing. It operates based on ultrasonic waves, which, after reflecting off objects, are analyzed by the vehicle's control system and then signaled to the driver via audible or visual alerts.

As part of the parking assistance system in Mini Cooper One R50, R52, and R53 generation models, this sensor allows for:

• more controlled maneuvering in tight parking spaces,
• increased safety when reversing,
• reducing the risk of damage to the rear bumper and body components.

Color and visual matching

The sensor is finished in Solid Gold, allowing for an aesthetic match with the factory body paint in this shade. As a result, the component does not stand out visually from the bumper after installation, maintaining a cohesive look for the rear of the vehicle. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or when replacing a single sensor, where maintaining the original Mini styling is a priority.

Technical specifications and installation

This is an original BMW component from the Mini group, designed specifically to work with the factory PDC system in the listed models. The sensor's design allows for installation in the designated rear bumper socket without the need for bodywork or electrical system modifications, provided the vehicle is factory-equipped with a parking system.

Before installation, it is recommended to:

• verify compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version,
• check the condition of the wiring harness and connection socket,
• perform a PDC system test after installation using diagnostics or a service procedure.

Product condition and service application

The offered sensor is a used part, making it an attractive solution for service repairs where an optimal cost-to-functionality ratio is a priority. This type of component is suitable both for replacing a single damaged sensor and for the staged restoration of the entire parking system following body and paint repairs.
