i have a uk spec e60 2004 model 330d se i have got a msport front bumper and fitted it i pulled the sensor brackets on my se and attached them to the msport all ok plugged in the sensors all ok then looked at the front and to my shock horror the msport holes for the sensors are a few mm bigger so the sensors dont fill the holes... what on eath do i do!!! eeeekkkk!

i really hope some one can help me!

do i need bigger sensors? is there different sensors brackets on the msport? or is there some trim/ring piece i can get to go round the edge?? the bumper was from a 2005 model i believe... every thing else fits perfect.

I'm not sure what the solution is?! But it has been well documented on here that the older PDC were bigger and don't fit right. GL with the fix!!

matttytn2

do you mean that the other way round as my bumper /pdc sensors are 2004 the bumper i have the issue with bigger holes is a 2005


will the different sensor ply in the same loom error free??

this is a nightmare!

There seems to be something missing on your m sport bumper. An outer plastic ring. compare with your se bumper. They are the same PDC brackets

according to real oem 2005 sensor p/n is 66200309540
and 2004 is 66200309540 so same part?? so maybe the bumper i have 2005 is an early lci ?? but realoem has a p/n on it number 7 look like it maybe the part i need but no lables or descriptions! or p/n of the sensor to rule that out either

07Decoupling ring PDC torque converter803/200766209142107$1.05

Dont worry. It's cheap! Good luck!

i hope thats it cause

is this the se sensor 3 Ultrasonic-sensor CODE - UNI/MET. 4 03/2007 66200309540
and 03 Ultrasonic transducer, plug, straight CODE - UNI/MET. 4 03/2007 66200427828 is the msport one if so it kinda makes this theory of number 7 being the missing bit i need not 100%

John@Motorcepts

66209142107 is the msport one

matttytn2

thats what i was hoping because new sensors would be a killer... just so there bigger to fill the holes.... i bet when the chap i got this bumper off has the m5 one fitted the bodyshop took these circle trim bits that fill this gap and used it on his new m5 one... i hope! i have now discovered this 07 Decoupling ring PDC torque converter 8 03/2007 66209142107 $1.05 so has someone else and believe it maybe the bit i need well i am praying anyway!!!

I ripped the pdc brackets off my se and super glued them then slikaflexed on top of water tight and enrure there solid fixed in.
