Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented PDC sensor is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 7 Series E65/E66 generation, where it is responsible for precise distance measurement from obstacles during maneuvering. As an ultrasonic component, it works with the factory controller and vehicle wiring, providing acoustic and visual warnings to the driver. Installation in the original location ensures the correct operating geometry of the sensor, which translates into stable performance of the parking system.

Color and visual fitment

The sensor is finished in Orientblau Metallic – 317, a color characteristic of the BMW paint palette. This ensures that once installed in the rear bumper, it maintains color consistency with the bodywork without the need for additional painting. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or when replacing a single PDC component, where an aesthetic final result and reduced service time are desired.

Technical characteristics and installation

The ultrasonic parking sensor is designed as an OEM part for the BMW PDC system, which facilitates installation in place of the factory component. The design intended for the rear zone of the vehicle allows for direct seating in the bumper socket and connection to the existing electrical harness. By maintaining the original geometry and operating parameters, the system can function in a predictable and repeatable manner after replacement.

Condition and service application

The component comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to a new OEM part while maintaining factory specifications. This type of sensor is suitable both for point replacement of a damaged PDC element and for broader repairs of the rear body section, where it is necessary to restore the full functionality of the parking assistance system.
