Recently when I put my zed in reverse there is a loud continuous beep. I think one of the sensors is going. Anyone know approx how much this may cost to diagnose and fix?

And how much is that then?

I better have a look
Mine did the same, got a sensor off ebay for 15 delivered brand new. You don't need to start the car just turn on the ignition and put it in reverse. Ear up to each sensor. As mentioned the one that isn't clicking is fooked. Mines an 06 mr so will be the same as yours. Mine is now fixed

The sensor is about £15 - £35 (plenty on eBay) , and £120 from dealer but:
- Needs painting
- Bumper off
Non BMW dealer about £150.
Before you go there, do what Woots suggested and use a hairdryer to dry the sensor. You don't need to start the car to check the sensors, just ignition on and put in reverse.
I don't want to reverse into my head

Good. A&E trip for de-icer in my eye was embarrassing enough.
They are ok. I think they would be more useful on the front.

True! I totally don't need them at the back. I have no idea still how long my bonnet is however.
