Front Parking Sensor Set - 2011 528i

When hunting front parking sensors for your 2011 BMW F10 528i, target the Bosch 0263003979 casting or BMW number 66209274428 found across 2010-2016 5-Series models. These 18mm ultrasonic sensors mount in the front bumper cover and require the PDC option (code 507) from the factory. In the junkyard, inspect F10/F11 sedans and wagons from 2010-2016, plus F07 Gran Turismo models through 2017. Pull sensors by rotating counterclockwise 90 degrees; check the rubber grommet for tears that cause moisture ingress. The 66209196705 is an earlier superseded number functionally identical to current stock. Critical: sensors are painted body color from factory, so verify your paint code or budget for professional painting. Installation requires bumper access or wheel arch liners, and the PDC module must be coded via ISTA/D to recognize new sensor positions. Common failures include cracked faces from parking impacts and corrosion on the two-pin connector pins.
