My question is, would 1 faulty sensor cause the whole PDC system to bug out? It does work sometimes, and other days it doesn't, very tempremental.

Also, how easy is it to replace the sensor? Do I just take off the bumper and it's a plug and play part or? I've managed to source a replacement original BMW sensor.

Thanks for your help.
They are plug and play. They just press into a round housing that is double-sided taped to the bumper. Bumper is not too hard to remove. I've had mine off twice recently and could do it in my sleep. Let me know if you need pointers there. Mine has night vision, which makes the job take twice as long, but few cars have that.
