Hi, i own 2008 535i with pdc. i just order oem mtech kit from bayside bmw in ny. i just when through it, and found pdc sensor not fitting on to new kit. i took of sensor from old bumper. try to install into bracket on new bumper. but bracket is different, its way too long for my parking sensor. called parts at bayside and told me to bring in the part. second problem, new fog light doesnt fit old harness. existing bulb is H8 but new fog is HB4. does anybody have this problem??? part number on the box is 51-71-0-396-684

Dont they have 2 sizes for the PDC sensors, did you specify the right pdc size. Not very sure but that whats I think it is.

You get a new set of FOGS with the MTECH --- DAMN !

yes it comes with new fog light. it comes with all the part to make it work. i am very mechanically inclined and i dont see how it works without braking the mount.

I know it's nice to have OEM, but I just posted pics of the M5 bumper I got from umnitza. No extra parts required, perfect fit. I also have PDC, sensor holes were perfect. Waiting on them to come out with an M-tech rear, but may end of up with the M5 rear and quads.
