Purpose and function in the gear shifting system

The presented handle cover is a component mounted in the front cabin area, directly on the automatic transmission selector. Its task is to provide stable guidance for the driver's hand when selecting gears and to protect the internal selector mechanism from dirt resulting from daily use. The design was developed specifically for BMW F45/F46 models, which translates into proper geometry and compatibility with the factory gear shifting mechanism.

Compatibility with automatic transmission

The cover is dedicated to vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, ensuring full compatibility with the factory selector and its operating range. The appropriately selected shape of the handle allows for a firm grip when changing driving modes, while not restricting the movement of the lever in any direction. Such a fit is important both from the point of view of ergonomics and the durability of the entire gear shifting assembly.
