X1 Parking Sensors - standard front and rear?

Post by stdawson65 » Wed Apr 10, 2013 11:16 am

Looking at a used X1 but want front and rear parking sensors. Are they standard? I see the Beemer garage second  hand models often say sensors but never front and rear!

Thx

If they have stated parking sensors, they will be front and rear, I've never heard of just having them on the rear on modern BMW's

They are an option on the front of e9x 320d's and possibly others. When I purchased the oh's car recently fell across this by accident and glad I did. If they aren't  stated in the options section I would say they aren't on the front. I did check out this on the new car configurer on the BMW site and fronts were an option. As the X1 is based some what on the 3 series I would guess its the same set up.

Just checked the BMW configurator and Front parking sensors are an option across the range priced @ £215.

As stated above if an AUC car has both it will show in the Additional Options section.

Nothing to be sorry about  :) I to thought like you that most BMW's came with F&R sensors as std. Only found out that they didn't when looking for a new car.
