Purpose and function of the PDC set

The presented X4 set belongs to the Parking sensors category and is factory-matched to the PDC system in BMW vehicles. The sensors work with the original electrical installation and the vehicle's control unit, transmitting signals about the distance from obstacles while maneuvering forward and backward. As a result, the driver receives acoustic information about approaching an obstacle, which facilitates precise parking in tight spaces and reduces the risk of bumper damage.

Color and body matching

The Spacegrau Metallic - A52 finish allows for aesthetic integration of the sensors into bumpers painted in the same shade. The uniform color reduces the need for additional painting and improves the visual consistency of the bodywork, which is particularly important during accident repairs or when replacing individual PDC system components.

Vehicle placement and configuration

The set is adapted for installation in the front and rear bumper area, which allows for the restoration of the full functionality of the factory parking system in the BMW E81, E87, and E90 LCI series. Placing the sensors in the original mounting points ensures the correct operating angle and proper coverage of the area in front of and behind the vehicle, which translates into reliable distance readings.

Product characteristics and service application

As components from the BMW group, the sensors are structurally compliant with the vehicle manufacturer's factory requirements. The X4 set will prove useful in situations where it is necessary to replace several damaged sensors at once or to rebuild the complete PDC system after body and paint repairs. The used nature of the parts allows for an economical restoration of the system's efficiency while maintaining the original technical specifications.

Technical support and selection of used electronics
