Purpose and Function of the BMW Parking Sensor

The presented PDC sensor is an ultrasonic element that works with the factory obstacle warning system in BMW models E81, E87, E90, E91, and E92. It is responsible for precisely detecting objects in the bumper's zone and transmitting signals to the control unit, which translates into acoustic or visual warnings for the driver.

Thanks to the use of ultrasonic technology, the sensor enables convenient maneuvering in tight spaces, facilitates parallel and perpendicular parking, and reduces the risk of body damage at low maneuvering speeds.

Silverstone Metallic Color – Visual Matching

The Silverstone Metallic - A29 version has been prepared for bumpers painted in this specific shade. Proper color matching:

• reduces the need for additional painting after installation,
• ensures a consistent appearance of the bumper surface,
• allows for maintaining the factory finish of the car body.

For users who care about both functionality and aesthetics, this color variant is a practical and technically sound solution.

Benefits of Using an Original PDC Sensor

Using an original sensor from the Parking Sensors group to replace a damaged part ensures full compatibility with the vehicle's electrical system and factory software. In practice, this means:

• correct cooperation with the PDC control module,
• stable system operation without errors or warning messages,
• appropriate operating characteristics (range, sensitivity, signaling method).

A part from this group is particularly important for the daily use of a city car or fleet vehicle, where frequent maneuvering in confined spaces requires a functional parking assist system.

Condition, Verification, and Selection by Part Numbers

The offered sensor is a used part, which translates into a favorable cost-to-functionality ratio while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Before installation in the vehicle, standard PDC system diagnostics and verification of compatibility by part number and interchangeable numbers are recommended to ensure correct matching with the specific equipment version.
