Application and compatibility

The presented PDC SET X2 is intended for BMW E87, E90, E91 series vehicles and Mini R55, R56, R60 models equipped with a factory parking assistance system. By maintaining the original housing geometry, the sensors are compatible with the stock bumper mounts, which facilitates installation and ensures proper system operation.

Carefully selected electrical parameters and communication with the vehicle's installation allow for direct connection to the existing wiring harness, without the need for modifications or additional adapters.

Color and visual fit

The Cosmic Blue Metallic - B13 color is a factory shade used in selected Mini models, ensuring the sensors blend harmoniously with the body paint. For users replacing damaged bumper components, this means the ability to maintain consistent aesthetics without additional paint work.

The metallic finish ensures a consistent visual appearance with other body elements, and the proper preparation of the factory housing surface promotes color durability in daily use.

Technical and functional characteristics

As components in the Parking sensors category, these PDC sensors are responsible for precise distance measurement from obstacles during maneuvering. The design, based on ultrasonic technology, works with the vehicle's factory controller, generating acoustic or visual signals depending on the car's configuration.

The sensor housing is adapted for outdoor operation – in areas exposed to water, dirt, and temperature changes. The connectors used are compatible with the factory wiring, which promotes connection stability and reduces the risk of system interference.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used set

The offered set comes from the used original parts segment, which allows for combining reasonable costs with maintaining factory fitment for the vehicle. In practice, this means the ability to restore full functionality of the PDC system while reducing expenses compared to purchasing new components.
