Hit something in road. Repair time.

[Thrawn]

Driving home at night last week, I hit something on the road. Not sure what it was. I am trying to figure out the damaged parts so I can replace them. I have some pictures, but I can not tell what most of the parts are as it is just broken plastic. I would probably be able to tell more if I could get the parts off, but I was hoping to order the replacements before doing that. This damage is the front left (drivers side) 2013 e70 x5. For starters I know I need the fog light grille, ( 51118048021 Closed grid, left )and the front bumper reflector. ( 63147274434 Set, side marker light)
Mine has a sensor, or camera there in it. Not sure what that is, or the part number for that sensor or camera is. I might need this? (51717234831
Cover, wheelhousing, fr. sec., front L) not sure. I will post some pictures. They are not the best though. I am hoping someone can help be identify parts. I can try to get better pictures, but the weather is crappy right now. Hard to tell from these pics. The one is looking into the hole the reflector goes in.

Side view camera. Not cheap part. If you don't use you can replace with full size reflector for about $30 for both sides knock off part.

Put your Vin into realoem.com to help determine exact parts.

Thanks, I have been using my vin in real oem, but I find it next to impossible to find the parts I need on there drilling down through the stuff. It is never where I think it should be. This is made more difficult when I don’t even know what the broken parts look like, or what they are called. I don’t use the camera, but I do want to replace it anyway. I will search more for a camera though since that is what it is, and not a sensor. I wasn’t sure. Thx

Ii wanted the side view i test drove with one is very nice for cross traffic and parking!

Did the camera get destroyed or is it just dangling inside by the cord?

I think it is gone, i couldn’t see it in side. I was hoping it was there. I will look again tomorrow but I am guessing the wire is broken too, so I will have to find a connector to splice in.

Ok the camera is definitely gone. I found the part number for it, but it appears that the cable for the camera got ripped off too. It looks like a coaxial type cable. Any idea what the part number is for it? I will have to replace the complete cable and not just the connector. I looked on realoem but don’t know what the cable is called
