How to remove the parking sensor that has entered inside the bumper

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see a fun and effective solution to remove a parking sensor that is "stuck" inside a bumper. In this case it is a BMW 3 Series, but the trick is valid for any car. In this case, the youtuber used a Smurf figurine, surely borrowed from one of his children. If you don't have one of these little objects, you can use a 12 mm wooden dowel. The important thing is to use hot glue, let it cool for at least two minutes and then pull outwards with determination. Then we will have to clean the sensor with acetone to remove any glue residue.
