• stably frame the gear shift switch and accompanying buttons,
• conceal the structural edges of the center console,
• visually organize the driver's working area,
• protect the selector mechanism from accidental user-inflicted dirt.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the panel ensures proper alignment with the stylistic lines of the BMW interior, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged or worn part with one of the same shape and mounting method.
