Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented sensor is dedicated to installation in the rear part of the BMW X1 E84 body, where it is responsible for continuous monitoring of the space behind the vehicle. Operating based on ultrasonic waves, this component works with the factory PDC system, generating acoustic and visual signals that facilitate maneuvering in tight parking spaces, reversing, and precisely approaching obstacles.

Thanks to its fitment for the specific BMW platform, the sensor maintains the correct operating parameters, such as detection angle and range, which translates into predictable, repeatable messages from the parking assistance system.

Color and body integration

The finish in Kaschmirsilber (Cashmere Silver) Metallic - A72 allows for aesthetic integration of the sensor into the rear bumper. Proper color matching reduces the "tacked-on" effect and helps maintain a consistent look of the body lines, which is particularly important in premium vehicles such as BMW.

The metallic paint coating is matched to the factory color code, which facilitates the replacement of a single sensor without the need to repaint the entire bumper component.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The sensor belongs to the group of ultrasonic measuring elements used in BMW PDC systems. It has been designed to work with the original electrical harness and the vehicle's control unit, which promotes a plug-and-play style installation while maintaining proper communication with the car's electronics.

The component has an assigned OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification via manufacturer identifiers or the vehicle's VIN. This allows for precise selection of the sensor for a specific BMW X1 E84 configuration, minimizing the risk of hardware or software compatibility issues.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing

The offered sensor comes from the segment of used original BMW components, which allows for combining an attractive cost with the preservation of factory specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, parking damage, or when replacing individual PDC system components, where visual and functional consistency is desired.

The main benefits of using this component include:

• Reproduction of factory PDC system operation thanks to a design consistent with BMW solutions.
• Color matched to the Kaschmirsilber paint, which reduces the need for additional paint work.
• Possibility to use the existing electrical installation and vehicle control unit.
• A reasonable compromise between repair cost and maintaining the vehicle's original parameters.

Selection by numbers and knowledge about used electronics

When choosing a parking sensor, it is worth verifying compatibility via the OEM number and interchangeable numbers, as well as the configuration of the specific BMW X1 E84 unit. Comparing markings from the removed component and consulting with a mechanic or automotive electronics specialist may also be helpful.
