Purpose and function of the component

The gear selector decorative cover in the Gomera Black version is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the area around the gear selector in the front part of the interior. This component:

• masks the mounts and the selector mechanism,
• visually organizes the central part of the cockpit,
• ensures a consistent, factory-like appearance of the center tunnel.

Thanks to a design compliant with BMW factory standards, the cover maintains the correct geometry and stable mounting in the vehicle.

Color scheme and visual fit

The black finish allows for easy integration of the component into most interior configurations used in the 1 and 3 Series E87. This color:

• reduces the visibility of minor dirt during daily use,
• matches both light and dark upholstery,
• makes it easier to maintain a consistent style with other console panels.

It is a good solution when replacing a worn cover if you want to preserve the original character of the BMW interior.

Installation characteristics

The cover is prepared for installation in the front part of the center tunnel, in the gear lever area. The design intended for factory mounting points allows for:

• installation without additional shape adjustments,
• maintaining a stable position relative to the gear selector,
• preserving the correct operation of the gear shifting mechanism.

The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original BMW specification.

Use of a used original part

Choosing a used OEM decorative element is often more predictable than installing a replacement with uncertain fitment. The original cover:

• retains factory dimensions and shape,
• is consistent with the stylistic line of a given model year and equipment version,
• allows for reducing the risk of inaccurate fitment with other panels.

Complementary elements and further reading

In the case of modernization or repair of the drivetrain and power transmission zone in premium class cars, it is also worth paying attention to the structural differences between standard and sports versions. A good point of reference is the material comparing solutions used in high-performance models – more information can be found in the article Audi RS vs other models – what is hidden under the hood and chassis?, which shows how manufacturers differentiate mechanical and finishing elements.
