I have an 04 525 and want to add the parking sensor. Not too worried about the front but from past cars I depend on the rear. I found a shop that will do it for $350 but it has a really ugly screen I have to mount somewhere. Anyone have this done before? I dont care if it is factory but that would be nice... let me know!

An extra screen?
No no...
Go to your dealer and install PDC (Park Distance Control)
The sensors are integrated in the bumpers

I can just see the dealer saying it cost $3,000!!!! Do you know how much>
You can go with the Rear Sensors on License plate.. It is listed in BMW Accessories booklet. it is much cheaper solution I think $250 for parts, less than 1 hour labor

IMHO I think its better if you just install a back up camera instead of having pdc. I think its cheaper and a lot more useful.
