Airbag BMW G30 G31 G14 G15 Knee Protection Airbag Module Front Right O/S 6820576

Airbag BMW G30 G31 G14 G15 Knee Protection Airbag Module Front Right O/S is an original protective module mounted in the lower part of the dashboard on the right side, designed for BMW G30, G31, G14, and G15 models. This component is responsible for providing additional protection for the knees and lower body of the front passenger during a frontal collision, working in conjunction with the vehicle's other safety systems. This used knee airbag module allows for a technically correct and cost-effective repair of the passive safety zone following deployment or a collision.

Purpose and function in the safety system

The presented module is a passenger knee airbag mounted at the front on the right side, in the area of the lower dashboard. Its task is to limit the displacement of the legs and knees during a collision, which reduces the load on the joints, femurs, and the lower torso.

The airbag works with other elements of the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), such as frontal and side airbags or seat belt tensioners. A correctly selected and installed knee module helps maintain the safety system's deployment sequence as designed by the manufacturer, which has a direct impact on passenger protection effectiveness.

Compatibility with BMW G30, G31, G14, G15 models

The module has been designed specifically for the BMW G-series platform, including the sedan, touring, as well as coupe and convertible versions. As a result, the following are maintained:

• proper fitment to the dashboard structure on the passenger side,
• correct positioning relative to the knees and legs,
• compatibility with the factory airbag system control unit.

Such fitment translates into stable mounting and the preservation of the airbag deployment geometry intended by the manufacturer.

Mounting characteristics and integration with the dashboard

The passenger knee airbag is a component integrated into the structure of the dashboard on the right side. It is mounted in a dedicated location, behind the lower cover, using factory mounting points. Thanks to this:

• the rigidity of the connection to the body structure is maintained,
• the module remains invisible to the user, without disturbing the interior aesthetics,
• the airbag deployment area is precisely defined by the manufacturer.

The used component allows for the restoration of full functionality to the knee zone after post-accident repairs, while maintaining the factory safety concept.

Condition, origin, and service application

The offered module comes from dismantling and is marked as an original BMW part, which guarantees structural compliance with the vehicle's factory equipment. The used component is particularly useful in:

• post-accident repairs after SRS system deployment,
• comprehensive replacement of passive safety elements in the front zone,
• restoring the vehicle to the state consistent with the manufacturer's specifications.

Using an original knee airbag module allows you to avoid problems with fitment, uncertain quality of aftermarket replacements, and potential errors in communication with the vehicle's electronics.

Safety, diagnostics, and technical aspects

The knee airbag is a pyrotechnic element, therefore all assembly and diagnostic work should be performed by a qualified service center with experience in handling SRS systems. Proper installation includes, among others:

• using appropriate procedures for disconnecting the vehicle's power supply,
• checking the electrical harness and airbag system connectors,
• verifying errors in the SRS controller after installation.

A properly selected and installed knee airbag module helps maintain the integrity of the entire passive safety system, which is important both for passenger protection and for subsequent diagnostic inspections.
