Product Details

This Hella wheel speed sensor is specified for rear axle use on select BMW GT and xDrive models from 2010 through 2017.

The 2-pin configuration and 991 mm lead length match the listed rear applications, including rear left and rear right positions where shown in the fitment data.

Hella’s 6PU wheel speed sensor line focuses on OE-style electrical and dimensional matching for brake system service. For BMW 535i GT, BMW 550i GT, and related rear axle applications, this sensor is listed across multiple model years and body configurations, making it a practical replacement when the original rear ABS signal is lost or inconsistent.
