Do non PDC cars have PDC dots on the rear bumper?

Just wondering if the bumpers come with the dots regardless or do they have smooth bumpers for the cars without the distance control optioned.

Anyone know?

Thanks but I meant the 1M specifically.

My 135 is smooth too, but I thought perhaps for a small run they only designed and manufactured one type of bumper.

I believe his 1M is non PDC. He took delivery a week ago.

Thanks I thought he meant the X5 and 325 (he edited later to specify the 1M)

sorry...my 325 is old and didnt notice the year wasnt there. Dont think pdc was available on it.

my previous X5 had pdc, and i do miss the pdc in my current X5, however, i dont miss it in the 1M, car is small and parking isnt an issue.

pretty much every manufacturer specs two bumper covers for cars that do or do not have this feature.

Ditto!

I'm not a fan of the holes in the bumper!

PDC has the round sensors.
Non-PDC should be completely smooth.
