Yeah you would need to take the front bumper off to check them. Never had to take a front bumper off, the Haynes Book of Paradies will tell you how to remove bumper.

I beleive so. The front sensors are a slightly different diameter. The rear sensors have a 90 deg fitment on them, the front ones are straight I think.
Welcome to the forum by the way.

Hi
Do you know if there is a difference between the actual sensor differing front from rear? Thanks Scott |

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Check the settings on your iDrive, I think you can tell it not to show the picture but till activate the PDC. Do the sensors now detect an object placed in front of them? When you unlock the car you should hear the sensors click as they do a test on unlocking the car, if you hear the clicks at each sensor then you know that sensor works. Failing the above you might need to get a diagnostic done on it. Andrew |

Hi - awesome feature made a job i was dreading doing really easy.
But now got another issue ! I fitted the sensor - the annoying 'boing' has disappeared along with the warning everytime i start up - the sensors are now making 'noise' when something is in proximity but i have not got my display on ? Any ideas could i have done something wrong? thx

I managed to fit the center guide without removing the bumpers. I could just manage to insert my hand in the gap and do the screws, rest were easy. thanks for your help.

Don't know. But I'm guessing that the diffuser is fixed to the bumper from the inside, so you will probably need to take the bumper off to access the fixings, just like the reflectors on the SE bumper are fixed from the inside. It won't take you long to remove the bumper to find out as it won't be hugely different to my bumper fixings. Andrew

Andy, thanks for detailed instruction. I need to fit my centre guide (the one which keeps the M Sports diffuser in place) do I need to take full bumper off. Is there any easy diy for taking just the diffuser off to have a look first.
how different is m sports bumper removal process?

Nice post, Andrew. I think these are always great for the DIY'er. As long as we don't need dealer resets we're fine.
