Late last year I had a problem with one of my sensors. When I put the car in reverse it made a long beep then silence. I put the car ignition on and left the gear in reverse. I could hear/feel 3 sensors clicking apart from one. Rang sopers bmw to get a quote and they said one sensor is 150 quid! Then they need 2 weeks to spray the colour that I want. Rip off! Had a look on the forum and found that people were able to buy it cheap but respraying was a problem.
I waited patiently I found this one dude on eBay who had all sorts of sensors. Tried to find montego blue colour sensor but I couldn't. I messaged him the colour code and te VIN number. And guess what? £35 quid for the right sensor and the right colour including P&P!
Fitting was a doddle! I thought my mechanic was gonna drop the bumper to swap the sensor but he said he removed one of the rear lights and could see down the bumper. Took him 10 mins to do. £20 labour and £35 for the sensor!
