Rear Parking Sensor

[hodroyd]

I need one new sensor, anybody happen to have a spare hanging around..?? Somebody bust one of mine when taking the rear bumper off and glued it back together, so it needs spraying and replacing.
Any offers gratefully received..!!

Cheers

Got mine off ebay, but as yet not sure if it works. It's apparently a BWM part, but the ones on the alternate list have a differently angled connector. I tracked down one with the correct angle, but not even sure if it's important.

I'm not sure and do you mean BMW, or BWM..?? Currently because one is broken, the system just has a loud beep and does not sense anything, so I need a new one to complete the set. What exactly did you find out, is the connector straight on one and angled on the other..??

Heh, sorry. BMW.
According to the Eurospares diagram, the connector should be angled on all of the sensors, they are all the same. The part listed in the alternate list is straight (E46), I bought one of these:

Interesting, it's a bit of a shock to find a simple sensor at over a £100 from Eurocash, so any thing that saves a bit...counts..!!
