Purpose and Function of the BMW PDC Sensor

The PDC parking sensor for BMW X5 E70 and F10, F11, F12 series is responsible for precise distance measurement from obstacles during maneuvering. The component works with the vehicle's factory acoustic and visual system, transmitting necessary information to the control unit for generating warning signals.

Its placement on the vehicle covers both the front and rear, allowing the same type of sensor to be used in different bumper positions, according to the specific BMW model's configuration. This enables a consistent repair of the entire PDC system without the need to mix different part variants.

Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect 2 – B90 Color and Visual Matching

The Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect 2 – B90 finish ensures aesthetic matching with BMW vehicles painted in this color. This is particularly important for sensors mounted in visible bumper areas, where color differences would be easily noticeable.

Thanks to the factory paint shade:

• visual consistency of the bumper and body elements is maintained,
• the need for additional painting is reduced,
• the risk of shade differences between the sensor and the car body is minimized.

Technical Characteristics and Vehicle Integration

The PDC sensor in this offer is a component from the Other category, but structurally designed specifically for BMW vehicles. This means full integration with the factory wiring harness and parking system controllers, without the need for installation modifications.

Key user features:

• compatibility with the factory BMW PDC system in X5 E70 and F10, F11, F12 series models,
• possibility of installation in the front or rear bumper, according to the car's configuration,
• maintenance of the original operating characteristics of the parking assistance system.

As a used component, the sensor provides a practical service solution, allowing the PDC system to be restored to full functionality while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Practical Application and Benefits of Installation

Installing the PDC sensor in Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect 2 – B90 color is particularly beneficial in situations where the existing component has suffered mechanical damage or has stopped accurately reading distances. Replacing it with an original BMW component allows you to:

• restore correct operation of acoustic and visual signaling during parking,
• increase safety during maneuvers in tight spaces,
• maintain the vehicle's factory equipment standard.

By using an original sensor, the driver retains predictable system operation, consistent with the parameters set by the vehicle manufacturer, which is important for both driving comfort and the car's value on the used market.
