Reverse sensors stopped working

[Bobbo]

My reverse sensors have stopped working. Any ideas?

Just make sure they are clean and have not got loose dirt/grime particles lodged in the recessed areas surrounding the sensors..

Not good news. I've started to rely on them too much

Never "whinged" that I cant reverse park the car...Just makes it easier and SAFER with the sensors..

The problem is that you get used to having them and when I drive my other cars without the sensors, you have to be more aware...

even on the day we take the car back from the trade the 120d sensors were still playing up. and it was the fronts....

My gf routinely forgets that the front of her car rotates AS WELL when she's reversing at an angle. The front ones tell her when the bumper is about to scrape across a pole.

So they are very useful

For the ultimate reversing experience: X6 when both the reversing camera and parking sensors stopped working. Luckily it was a software glitch and the dealer was able to fix it for my dad in no time.

So that my wife can tell when to stop in the garage. And on the 135i, the pretty graphics you seen on screen .

Not sure about the rear sensors though as she still backed into the letter box.
