Hi guys, thought id give this site a go, was on e46 fanatics, have posted 3 topics and not a single hi or answer.

bought my first bm about a month ago, was al japanese before, sold my starlet glanza v turbo and swopped for 318ci coupe. and i love it!

one ov the sensore on the back has gone, the sensors arnt the ones set straight into the bumper, all foyur are housed by a black plastic sort of vent/grill looking thing,. does this just pop off to get the sensors out?

cheers guys,

i hope i have more luck on here!!!

Am I thinking right that you have pre-facelift model?

[chriswoodbmw]

Hey, yep its the pre-facelift one, the sensors are bmw ones, not an add on. Did the tp.icking noise test, and all seem to tick when its i reverse. Fuse maybe? Or wud a knakerd fuse make it not work at all?

P.s its same bumper as this one. Its the blak plastic trim i need to get off, or do the sensors just pop out.

Hi mate welcome to the club i saw on the bay the other night someone selling the sensors individually

[chriswoodbmw]

yea ive seen the sensors on there. Just not sure how to get the sensor out of the bumper to swop it. Do they prise out, is there a clip behind them etc. Cant order sensor till i know exactly what type it is. Theres a few dif ones.

Cheers
