Have you checked on the price of sensors from BMW? I had to get some for my Discovery a couple of years back and they cost me about £220 for the set of four from JLR, dont be tempted by the Ebay ones, I was and received a set of very convincing fakes, got my money back but still had the hassle of having to have the things removed and then the real ones refitted.

BMW wanted £65 each plus fitting.
