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!!!

    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.
