Application and function in the PDC system

The presented item is an ultrasonic parking sensor designed for installation in the front bumper of the BMW i3 I01, working with the factory PDC system. It is responsible for continuously monitoring the space in front of the vehicle, sending a signal to the control unit, which informs the driver of approaching obstacles both acoustically and visually on the display.

The precise operating characteristics of the sensor allow for comfortable maneuvering in tight spaces, facilitate parallel parking, and minimize the risk of minor collisions at low speeds. Using an original component ensures proper cooperation with other elements of the PDC system and maintains factory performance parameters.

Color matching and aesthetics

The sensor is finished in Solar Orange Metallic / Frozen Grey - B78, characteristic of the BMW i3 version with the Solar Orange styling package. As a result, visual consistency of the bumper is maintained after installation, without the need for additional painting or aesthetic compromises.

The factory surface finish allows the sensor to blend harmoniously into the body line, which is particularly important in models with distinctive styling, such as the BMW i3. For the user, this means not only a functional parking system but also the preservation of the vehicle's original appearance after repair.

Technical characteristics and installation

As an element from the Parking sensors group, the product has been designed to operate in the front part of the vehicle, under conditions of exposure to moisture, dirt, and variable temperatures. The ultrasonic design is adapted to the specifics of the BMW i3 I01 bumper, which translates into the correct angle of wave emission and reception, as well as stable system operation.

The sensor is installed in the factory socket in the bumper, using the original mounting and the vehicle's electrical harness. This allows for a plug-and-play concept within the PDC system, without the need for interference with the installation or the use of adapters. The used, original component allows for an economical repair while maintaining high quality and compatibility with the vehicle's electronics.

Why choose a used BMW PDC sensor

In the case of components such as parking sensors, using a used OEM component is often a rational service solution. You receive a part from disassembly that retains factory operating parameters and is matched to the specific BMW i3 I01 model, which reduces the risk of communication problems on the vehicle's bus.

If you want to better understand how to safely select and install used electronic components in a car, including sensors and modules, it is worth checking out the Global Parts guide: Used automotive electronics – ECU modules and second-hand sensors. You will find practical tips on selecting by OEM numbers, verifying compatibility, and installation.
