This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 61356923954 and is described as Rain And Light Sensor for many 2002+ BMWs.
This rain sensor has optical 'eyes' to measure light, and is used to tell the windshield wiper system when to pulse the window wipers (on cars with the rain sensor option). When this sensor fails (or gets broken, perhaps during windshield removal, impact, or an accident) it will report an error to your car, and your rain-sensing wiping won't work. If you or your auto glass shop are replacing your windshield, this is the perfect time to fix a broken rain and light sensor.
This rain sensor is for the following BMW models:
E46 3 Series (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)
E39 5 Series (2002, 2003)
E53 X5 SAV (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)
E83 X3 SAV (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010)
E85/E86 Z4 Roadster & Coupe (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008)
Also used on R50, R52, R53 MINI Cooper & Cooper S models through 2006.
Not for cars before the 2002 model year.
