If you have an '08 E60 with PDC and you're putting on the OEM aero kit, it isn't a direct fit. Found out from the dealer that you'll be needing an adapter to fit the '08 sensors to the holes.
I'd dropped my car off on Tuesday morning and it was supposed to be ready either Friday or Sat. Turns out it's looking more like Wednesday! The kit had the adapters listed in the packing list, but apparently, whoever packed it lied

It's not a retro fit , it is 8 all new sensors...... That is why the Mtech kit runs so much on LCI's

Correct...all new sensors. At first, they thought there was an adapter kit with the aero kit, but that wasn't the case. BMW in NJ is shipping new sensors that will be painted to match. Apparently these sensors have to be painted differently from the bumpers or they won't work, plus they have wiring attached.
$4100 for the kit, paint, installation and tax
FWIW, this is the first LCI for Crevier

I've could have gotten you the kit almost half the price painted and installed with all the necessary hardware.
