Purpose and compatibility

The presented set of two PDC sensors is dedicated to selected versions of the BMW E87, E90 series and Mini R55, R56, R60 equipped with a factory parking system. Thanks to the use of an original design intended for these platforms, the components work with the existing electrical installation and vehicle control units, which facilitates seamless integration with the factory system.

The black color of the housing makes it easy to install both in bumpers factory-painted in dark shades and in vehicles where a discreet, low-visibility integration of the sensor with the bumper surface is important.

Construction and performance parameters

The PDC parking sensors in this set use the standard ultrasonic design for BMW and Mini, which enables precise detection of obstacles in the zone in front of or behind the vehicle (depending on the mounting location in a given car). This solution ensures:

• stable operation in typical operating conditions,
• consistency with the factory acoustic and/or visual warning system,
• the possibility of replacing individual damaged elements without interfering with the rest of the installation.

The Black color allows for maintaining a neutral appearance of the bumper and limits the visibility of the element against dark paintwork, which is particularly important for users who care about the aesthetics of the bodywork.

Benefits of using the x2 set

The set of two PDC sensors works well both when replacing a pair of elements in one bumper zone and when gradually renovating the entire system. In practice, this means:

• the possibility of uniform replacement of two sensors with a similar degree of wear,
• consistent operating parameters of both elements within one PDC circuit,
• reducing the risk of sensitivity differences between old and new components.

For users who want to restore the full functionality of the parking assistant, such a set is a convenient service solution, allowing for faster diagnostics and replacement without the need to look for individual pieces.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered set of PDC sensors is in used condition, which in practice means that the elements come from dismantling and have been verified for their suitability for further operation. This type of solution is often chosen by users who want to optimize repair costs while maintaining the original installation specification and compatibility with the vehicle's installation.

In the case of electronics mounted in the bumper, it is particularly important that the sensors maintain the correct reaction to obstacles and communicate correctly with the control module – a used, tested OEM element usually fits better into an existing system than random replacements with uncertain parameters.

System expansion and additional materials

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the parking zone in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as additional sensors, wiring harnesses, or control modules, check the available parts in the BMW Parking sensors category.

When choosing electronics from the secondary market, it is worth knowing the basic principles of selecting and verifying components.

Summary

BMW E87 E90 E91 Mini R55 R56 R60 Parking Sensor PDC Ultrasonic Black Set is a practical service solution for users who want to restore the efficiency of the factory parking assistance system while maintaining the original operating characteristics. The set of two black PDC sensors enables a visually and technically consistent replacement of elements in the bumper, ensuring correct cooperation with the existing BMW and Mini installation.
