Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

Installation and Technical Aspects

The panel is intended for installation on the right side of the center console, requiring adaptation to the specific interior version. Since it is an original BMW part, installation proceeds similarly to the factory method – utilizing existing mounting points and electrical harnesses.

Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify compatibility with your car's equipment, especially regarding the functions operated by the buttons. Proper matching ensures correct cooperation with the vehicle's systems and eliminates the risk of communication errors with the electronics.
