You will most likely need the following:
1 - the wiring to connect the sensor arrays to the PDC module
2 - the PDC module
3 - PDC switch on the center console
4 - coding so the graphic display shows in idrive

^^^www.realoem.com will get you the schematic views with the BMW part numbers.
There are many websites you can buy the parts from or you could search this forum, ebay, etc.
I used www.parts.com but I'm not sure if they ship to the UK. Good luck.

^^^No I didn't retrofit PDC on my car it was ordered from the factory. I know about the parts involved because when I had the M Aero Kit installed I had to buy the older PDC sensors.
IIRC the PDC module cost about $300. The cables may already exist in your car and I'm not sure what the cost would be for the console switch and coding.
