Purpose and Compatibility

The PDC parking sensor with Bluewater Metallic - 896 paintwork has been designed for use in selected versions of BMW E81, E82, E87, E90, and E91 series. It is a component from the Other category, but it plays a key role in the assistance system during maneuvering in tight parking spaces, underground garages, or in urban traffic.

Thanks to its OEM construction, the sensor cooperates with the factory PDC controller, maintaining the original logic of the system's operation – from obstacle detection to acoustic and visual signaling (depending on the vehicle's equipment).

Construction, Color, and Fit

The component features a factory finish in the Bluewater Metallic - 896 shade, allowing for installation without the need for additional painting. This solution reduces the risk of color discrepancies between the sensor and the bumper and shortens the time required to restore full parking system functionality.

Key construction features:

• original body geometry ensuring correct seating in the bumper socket,
• maintaining the factory working angle of the sensor relative to the surface,
• adapted for cooperation with the original PDC wiring harness.

Performance Characteristics and Installation Benefits

The PDC sensor is responsible for continuously measuring the distance to obstacles in the bumper area, which translates to convenience and safety in daily operation. A properly functioning component helps reduce the risk of minor parking collisions and, consequently, potential bodywork and paint repair costs.

Key benefits of using this sensor:

• restoration of full functionality of the factory PDC system,
• consistent color match to Bluewater Metallic paint,
• no need for electrical system modifications with correct model selection.

The product belongs to the BMW category and is an OEM part, which means maintaining the original system operating parameters and compatibility with the vehicle's software.

Product Condition and Practical Application

The PDC parking sensor is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. For users who want to economically restore parking system functionality, this is a solution that avoids problems typical of some aftermarket replacements, such as incorrect readings or error messages.

The component is suitable for both single replacement of a damaged sensor and for broader service work related to bumper or entire PDC system repairs.
