Best brand of non-OEM PDC sensors

[9xxNick]

Has anyone any guidance on a reliable brand of non-OEM PDC sensors (in this case for a '07 730D)?

I have tried a couple of the ebay jobs but they seem to be poor quality and throw errors and false positives a lot of the time. Others may be better of course and I'm hoping to benefit from someone else's experience.

Just get a used BMW one if you don’t want to pay new prices. I’ve never seen an aftermarket one that worked.

This.

E46 M3 owners have tried OEM quality Land Rover ones off eBay but some have said they have worked, while others have said their reaction time/distance warning is very different to OEM (i.e you're practically in their bumper before they start to fire off.

Thanks for the input. At £147 + VAT each they must be living in some style in Munich.

Here’s a cheaper new gen one:

I'd also get a used one. The new aftermarket ones I got stopped the system from working at all. The used OE ones I fitted have been absolutely fine.

Ask Cotlswolds what they want with discount. They normally given discount on the M3Cutters forum.

Thanks all. I have a ordered an apparently new OEM one (Valeo) from a vendor on Ebay. We will see.
