Rear/Front Parking Sensors
Whatup guys! I just recently got my 2011 135i, and it has all the packages I want EXCEPT parking sensors! Do any of you know a way to install the IDrive integrated parking sensors on my car / how much it would run me? Thanks

why do you want them? Its a tiny car, and they make the bumper ugly anyway. Plus i dont think there is OEM front sensors. (Correct me if im wrong)
But the way to do this is buy the bumper with sensors, have it painted whatever color you wish, install it, and i would assume theres some additional coding to be done to make it functional. |

If you're lazy why would you want to go through the huge headache of incorporating this? Not to mention they look horrible.

A lot of people say they're ugly. As far as I can tell, they're just four tiny circles on the rear bumper that I hardly notice. Not a single friend/family member has ever mentioned anything about it either. If these four circles AREN'T the sensor... then I DEFINITELY can't tell where it is.

Ya, space gray or darker, I'd get. Anything lighter I'd probably pass for aesthetic reasons.
What's most interesting is the rear parking camera retrofit you can get. Granted, these cars probably don't NEED any of these things, but park the lil guy in a parking lot and have some a-holes in suburbans park next to you and you suddenly can't see if ANY cars are coming down the aisle when you back up, where a camera would really help. |

I thought about trying this out since the cab has major blind spots.

Old post, I know. Hope you did this. I’m doing mine now and connecting them all to my custom-programmed android deck and digital instrument cluster. Made my entire 2010e82 modernized and redid the interior completely. Wasn’t that much to do, and was mostly just either paint gunning some of the ugly fake wood crap with lacquer-based stuff I found (it’s amazing and literally won’t chip or scratch even with a razor. Love it haha) and adding heated recaro seats, the dash unit and cluster, a alcantara wheel, shifter and the rest of the usual stuff. Making the car communicate with the aftermarket crap was the tricky part. Had to do a lot of it off a OBD2 splitter with usb inputs and hide that sucker in the kick panels lol. Came out cool though. Got the sensors working, and mounted the UNDER the bumpers after taking them out of their plastic casing. Bout the same thickness too. Only thing I’m having trouble with is the damn Amazon back up camera integrated into a new truck button. Damn thing flicks on and off. Might need more power than reverse light wire is giving it. Who knows. My point of all this is that if you still have the car, and if you’re still doing stuff to it, have any questions, let me know. On the original owner of my car bought a pack in 2010 and the sucker still only has 50,000 miles on it. I don’t think I’ll ever sell that thing. it’s basically a 2024 car at this point with all the electronics. I have it in custom stuff I’ve done to it it drives like one it’s fu***g great. Haha. I might have some questions about my sensors if you did do them. Thanks. I’ll send pm if you’re still around lol. This is a decade old lol |
