BMW E38, E39 Ultrasonic PDC Sensor Replacement

[12absinthe12]

@e39source, hey ryan, how much does it cost to replace the halos? is DIY or did you have to get it done by BSI?

[E39Source]

@12absinthe12 To get the aftermarket halos, which I did (Depo) it would be around $750. The OEM lights would be $3,000. Both prices include having BMW wire them (around 1hr labor.) You might be able to do it totally yourself, but I couldn't get the halo lights wired to the other lights. Installation and high/low beam wiring was easy though.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned earlier but at the start you mentioned that the car was produced 1995 to 2003? Is that true or is it 1997 to 2003?

[E39Source]

@SILEXon Technically I think it's 1996-2003, but some parts I've found were made in 1995... They didn't come to the US until 1999-2000 though.

How hard is it to change the painted ones?

[E39Source]

@GTA4Forever Probably as hard as removing the rear bumper... which, as I'm guessing, wouldn't be that easy.

can you do a start up video and revving because i want to here what it sounds like before i buy one

[E39Source]

@drifter247 Yeah I can do a short startup and rev in the next few days, but I'll have to keep it under 4k RPM, since there's no load on the drive train.

[E39Source]

@xxxamuel sounds like somebody's never owned one...

[xxxamuel]

@E39Source i have 2...

[E39Source]

@xxxamuel Two BMW cars? 1.) Congratulations. 2.) Are you honestly not happy with them? Which models do you have? If you really don't like them I'm sorry to hear that and you're the first unhappy BMW owner I've ever heard of.

[xxxamuel]

@E39Source is just that cars take me form point a to pint b... but motorbikes are such a rush... i love them so much.. cars are only good when is raining.... BTW bm5 '11 and x5

[E39Source]

@xxxamuel I understand, but I love cars. Bikes would be great but they're just a little dangerous for me since everybody else is in a SUV around here. My Dad has an X5, its very nice!
