F36 Rear sensor fallen in!

Darola · 10-19-2018, 11:26 AM

The sensor positioned on the n/s quarter has fallen in - do I need to remove the whole bumper to get to it? Or does the dark under panel come off to give access?

I assume it comes off since I'm pretty sure the F36 has a diffuser option. I'm guessing the removal would be similar to the F30.

It does come off (like 8 screws) and the sensor is held in with VHB. Easy fix. Good luck!

Job done. Thanks for the video!

Took 15 minutes, 3 screws and a bit of superglue! I used a bit of wood to hold the diffuser out so I had room to work - easy!

VHB is that double sided tape?
