Image Sensor: Construction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 46 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 650i, 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The graphics illustrating the structure of the image sensor are as follows:

The graphic shows the structure of the image sensor of the E63/E64. The only difference between this sensor and that used in the E60, E61, E65, E66 series is the 3-pin connector (see the graphics below).

The graphic shows the 3-pin connector that connects the main-beam assistant to the K-CAN. The main-beam assistant is permanently connected to the windscreen by the mirror base. The rake angle of the windscreen varies from series to series. Consequently, different retainers have to be used for the mirror base. The 3-pin connector comes in different shapes in order to ensure that the correct retainer is used for each series.
