Last year I recall paying approximately £50 for the senor from BMW and then buying a touch up spray to colour code it. Works out significantly cheaper but does invalidate the BMW part warranty. You pay your money, you make your choice...

I was about to ask a similar question. I am thinking of just getting both sensors and fitting them, my car is going in to the bodyshop next month for a mop up, I spoke to them and in the process of doing that they'll paint my sensors for me. However any advice would be appreciated.

If it was £50 from BMW I would get it and spray it myself but those stealers want too much dosh for the part...!!!

I keeping getting asked by ebay sellers what the plug on the sensor looks like, I don't know as haven't been able to take off the bumper yet...!!!

I am currently talking to someone from bmminiparts at the moment.. he's got a bunch of sensors in.. Aparently the come prepainted.. give them a call they might have the sensor you need.

Cheers YG for that, I emailed them and they are unsure if its def right for my car!

I gave the offending sensor a good beating earlier and its starting working again, prob not for too long I'm sure but let's see what happens?

Hi Craig

I have 3 black items in stock. I need to get prices for them. To paint these will be cheaper for you, as painted ones from BMW are over £100 and can take up to 6 weeks to arrive as they are painted to order. You could order a tin of paint and do it yourself.

Part number is 6989069 and will be on the site later today.

Many thanks

There is only 1 left now as I bagged two already. Does anyone have any good tips on painting these?
