Merry Christmas.

Hi

Did you fit the new sensors in a bumper that already had the holes already in? If so what kit did you order? Thanks.

No worries. So just to be clear, did you have a bumper that had PDC sensors factory fitted that you replaced with a sensor kit from eBay?

Hi all, I am also planning to carry out this task with the help of a garage of course. I found an OEM colour matched bumper with the holes already, along with the sensor loom and sensors. image link below shows what i can acquire, circled in red. Is it as simple as plug, code and play?
I have a 2003 Z4, so i was also curious about the gong, i guess it will use the standard gong for all my instrument warnings right?

Do let me know before i splurge my money on these parts

Hi

I'd had the same idea until I read on another post that the reversing sensor looms are not pre-wired, even in the older cars, so would have to be wired in from scratch, although i understand the gong is already in place.

hah, was digging around and found everything pre-wired in the end. grabbed all the hardware for 250 euros and all is good now. just missing the gong. PDC wire was just lying around all tied up on my 2003 zed
