Purpose and Fitment for BMW 1 and 2 Series

The presented passenger glove box is intended for the interior of the BMW 1 Series F20/F21 after facelift (LCI) and BMW 2 Series F22/F23. The design has been developed for the specific dashboard of these models, which translates to:

Thanks to this, installation proceeds in an organized manner, without the need for modifications or forcing the part to fit.

The glove box is made as a complete cassette with a door, ready for installation in the factory location on the passenger side. The black color of the outer surface allows for consistency with the typical interior configuration of the BMW 1 and 2 Series of this generation, without the shade or texture differences characteristic of aftermarket parts.

This solution provides:

• an aesthetic connection with the dashboard and trim strips,
• ergonomic access to the glove box space,
• stable door operation during opening and closing.

• organized space management on the passenger side.

For workshops and individual users, this is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged doors, or interior refurbishment of the vehicle.
