Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented side airbag is intended for installation in the front left door of BMW 7 Series E65/E66 vehicles. The component works with the factory airbag control unit, crash sensors, and the electrical wiring harness designed for this body generation.

Its placement within the door structure ensures driver protection in the event of side impacts, interacting with other components of the vehicle's passive safety system. Thanks to a design tailored to a specific body zone, the airbag maintains the correct deployment geometry and protective surface area.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The airbag has been designed as an OEM component for the E65/E66 platform, which means it is a perfect fit for factory mounting points and the electrical harness. Using an original design allows for:

• maintaining proper cooperation with the SRS control module,
• correct circuit recognition by the vehicle's diagnostic system,
• maintaining factory timing parameters for airbag deployment in the event of a collision.

The component comes from a BMW vehicle and complies with the manufacturer's factory quality standards regarding passive safety. As a result, it is the right choice for post-accident repairs where restoring the original configuration of the airbag system is required.

Component condition and service application

The airbag is a used component, which allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. Such components are most commonly used in:

• post-accident repairs following SRS system deployment,
