Hi all. When engaging reverse gear, one of my front sensors thinks it's next to something (when it isn't). It's a continuous sound, so it thinks something is *very* close. It doesn't tend to happen when it's raining.
I've just been quoted £159 by BMW for a diagnostics check then of course, there could be a another cost to fix.
Has anyone on here had this issue, or have any ideas on how to fix it?
It's a 69 plate X1.
Thanks in advance!

Front Parking Sensor Fault
Depends upon which sensor? The outer ones may be part of the fog light trim, in which case that needs to come off and it’s a simple swap. If it’s an inner one then the bumper needs to come off and then again it’s a swap out for the transducer.
Sounds like BMW Diagnostics have got even more pricey!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, not cheap that's for sure!X5Sport wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:22 am Depends upon which sensor?
