Back Up Sensor

My '13 528i did not come with one, (don't know if it was even offered for this year, model)...Would it be possible to get one install?...Or would it be really expensive?.....Thx, B

Yes, it was an option on your car. As for retrofit, see here...

when I swapped my rear bumper out to the MSPORT the bumper I had acquired had bumper sensor holes which my vehicle did not. I bought what was needed to fill in the holes like the sensors and brackets but when I looked into what else I needed to make them actually work the price started to add up. a backup camera retrofit like what ezaircon4jc posted is probably your best bet for a complete kit

Great info!

Is there just a single sensor that beeps (the type that beeps faster as you get closer) other than the entire camera set-up?...Thks!

Yes; but it is also associated visually. The sensors are the ones lsturbointeg discussed.
