The ABS and DSC control unit relies on information from the sensors to set braking and traction control settings. A sensor going bad or failed will set the system into a dangerous failsafe setting and possibly a limp mode. This is a Hella brand wheel speed/ABS/DSC sensor, made to the same specifications as the BMW engineers intended.
