According to BMW/MINI guidelines (found in vehicle-specific service manuals and the “Overview of Additional Work” tables):
- Windshield replacement or removal: Requires KAFAS camera calibration.
- Front or rear bumper repairs/replacement: Affects radar sensors and forward camera alignment.
- Structural repairs or framework: Any change to vehicle geometry.
- Sensor or camera replacement: Full recalibration needed.
- Wheel alignment or suspension work: Often triggers recalibration for accurate data inputs.
- Post-collision: Even without visible sensor damage, pre- and post-repair scans are essential.
