How to Replace the Parking Sensors on a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Parking sensors

To replace the parking sensors on a BMW 3 Series, use a tool to pry off the trim located in the center of the rear bumper. Once the trim is removed, you can access the underlying parking sensors, which can be disconnected from their connectors and removed from their housing. This will allow you to connect the new sensors to these connectors, insert them into the trim, and secure the trim back in place on the rear bumper.
