Purpose and function in the vehicle

Thanks to the factory BMW design, the knob integrates harmoniously with the center panel, maintaining the original button layout and operating logic known from the factory equipment of these models.

Construction and fitment for BMW

The switch has been developed as an OEM component, which means it maintains the correct geometry of mounts, connectors, and housing shape. This facilitates installation in the factory location without the need for modifications to the wiring or the center console.

The gear knob is adapted to the electrical architecture of the BMW F-series, which allows for proper cooperation with control modules and vehicle safety systems, while maintaining original functionality.

Condition and service application

The item comes from the secondary market, making it a cost-effective solution for maintenance repairs or restoring the functionality of the gear shifting system after mechanical damage or wear. Choosing an original, used knob allows you to maintain the factory character of the interior and compatibility with the existing installation.

The product is suitable both for standard replacement of a damaged selector and for restoring the completeness of equipment in vehicles after body and mechanical repairs.
