BMW ADAS Calibration. Prices from £199. Anywhere in the UK.

The forward camera, BMW's KAFAS module, is out of alignment. The KAFAS sits bonded to the inside of the windscreen, so any glass replacement moves the camera with it. Driving Assistant, Lane Departure Warning and the speed limit reader all flag together because they share that single camera.

The fix is a static calibration through BMW ISTA-compatible tooling. Car parked level, target board positioned to BMW's documented distance, KAFAS realigned, certificate issued. We walk through the full procedure and pricing for calibration after a windscreen replacement. Fixed at £199 through our network, against a dealer quote that typically runs £600 to £900.

Because the front long-range radar on the G60 5 Series is sensitive to small physical shifts. We see this exact code from owners: "error code 482136 which is long range front radar sensor maladjustment." The trigger is usually wheel tracking adjustment, bumper repair, or any work that touched the front lower zone.

Some garages recommend running the radar calibration alongside the tracking adjustment, which is the right call. The wheel alignment changes the car's reference geometry, and the radar needs to know where the car is now pointing. Our accredited network runs both as one job through BMW ISTA-compatible tooling. Static aim, certificate after.

Yes. The X1 U11 (2022 onward) moved to BMW's newer camera generation with updated KAFAS hardware, while the X3 G01 (2017 onward) carries the earlier platform. The calibration procedure runs through ISTA-compatible tooling on both, but the target distances and the aim references are model-specific.

Our network sets the calibration board to the correct distance for whichever model is on the ramp. One workshop handles both, and the certificate names the specific model and the procedure version that was run. Send the registration when you enquire so we confirm the scope before booking.

Around two hours on the ramp for a clean job. The 2 Series G42 sits on the calibration floor, tyre pressures are checked, the front is squared to the KAFAS target board, and the static calibration runs through BMW ISTA-compatible diagnostic tooling.

If the windscreen swap also disturbed the rain-light sensor or the night vision module (on higher trims), those add 30 minutes for a coding check. We see common 2 Series owners where the camera "has not been calibrated" after the glass fitter cleared the warning code. The fix is the static calibration, not the warning reset. Certificate after, no return visit.

The front KAFAS camera doesn't, but the front radar and parking sensors do. The 4 Series G22 mounts its long-range radar behind the front grille and its parking sensors in the bumper itself, so a bumper change shifts the radar's aim and disturbs the sensor positions.

We see this pattern: "Front park camera after bumper change but all connected correctly." The connections are fine, the alignment isn't. Our network runs the radar calibration through ISTA-compatible tooling and verifies the parking sensor positions in one booking. Certificate covers the radar aim and the parking aid check together.
