Intended Use and Function of the Part

The presented gear shift gaiter is the factory trim for the gear lever in the front interior of BMW E81, E82, E87, and E88 series. The part serves an aesthetic and protective function – it conceals the gear lever mechanism, protects it from cabin dirt, and visually tidies up the center console area.

The Boston Black leather finish ensures consistency with the original BMW upholstery, making the entire assembly look like a factory configuration after installation, without the effect of an "add-on" or a mismatched replacement.

Construction and Materials

Lever Cover BMW E81 E82 E87 E88 Gear Shift Trim Leather Boston Black 7572572 is a complete gear shift gaiter made of high-quality black leather, matched to standard BMW interior trims. The construction is designed as an OEM part, meaning precise fitment to the factory frame and center console surround.

The appropriately shaped gaiter ensures free movement of the gear lever throughout its full range of motion, without material stress or creasing. The leather used withstands typical operational loads, such as frequent hand contact, gear lever movement, and temperature changes within the vehicle's interior.

Condition, Fitment, and Installation

This part is from a dismantled vehicle and is offered as a used original BMW part, which allows for compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications. Thanks to its manufacturer-designed construction, installation is close to plug-and-play – the gaiter works with the standard surround and the factory gear lever mechanism in the front cabin area.

When selecting, it is recommended to verify by OEM number or interchangeable part numbers and compare the shape and color with the currently installed part. This approach minimizes the risk of mismatch and speeds up the replacement process in a workshop or during DIY installation.

Benefits of Using an Original Gear Shift Gaiter

• Restores a consistent, factory look to the center console in BMW 1 Series E8x.
• Improved fitment and secure mounting due to construction compliant with the manufacturer's design.
• Boston Black leather finish color-matched to the original interior.
• Protects the gear lever mechanism from cabin dust and dirt.
• A cost-effective choice by using an original used part instead of a new aftermarket one.
