Parking Sensors in rain

Recommended Posts

Hello

I have a 2017 Reg BMW X3

Parking sensor keep bleeping when it rains even though there is nothing in proximity (see photo)

I took it to BMW and they say there are no faults logged and there is no active fault so they cannot do anything about it.

I complained to BMW customer service and they say the same.

 

They don't accept the photo as evidence of the problem.

 

What do I do? I'm thinking of taking them to court

Frustrating aren't they ? BMW firmly believe if it isn't there when they look it can't exist? My X5 hates wet weather always has the sensors go on strike in the wet or after a car wash but I can turn mine off and just use the reverse camera. 

I assume when you are driving in heavy spray or rain that triggers them?

Unfortunately you are running a car and using a franchise service that can only fix fault codes. 

This is the modern way, and probably little different to other makes. I too would be disappointed with BMW UK's standpoint. But I wouldn't be surprised. 

Cars will only become more complex with the passing of time and what we experience now with these annoyances are probably nothing compared to what's coming. 

Anyone fancy a 1980's 3 series. Not that we'll be able to drive them anywhere because they'll be banned or taxed out of existence. 

Upt'North. ☹️

I'd be more annoyed at the dust 😉

 

The sensors are very sensitive for obvious reasons. 

 

I live in Scotland.... Very wet place, it happens on my X3 every now and then , which i find is when the car is dirty.
