Rear Parking Sensors - Where to Buy? BMW Out of stock!

Post by Priceworld » Mon Dec 18, 2017 8:56 am

Hi

I need to buy a rear parking sensor for my E85. BMW tell me they are £130+ plus they don't have any in stock and are unlikely to order for some time.

Are there any alternative suppliers?

I need a Montego Blue sensor?

Many thanks.

I've had 2 sensors go on me in the past 2 years. Bought second hand ones off eBay, and both have worked a treat. Got lucky both times as managed to get them in the same titan silver finish as the car! And paid around £20 each posted.

Cheers

cheap ones off ebay work fine - then paint them yourself or take to a bodyshop to get painted :thumbsup:

I got mine from Quarry Motors, a BMW breakers for £20 delivered. They are based in Sheffield but will deliver anywhere. Google it and you will get the number

I'd go for breakers, especially if you can find the right colour but if you want new I've had bits and bobs from here:
