Purpose and function of the element

The presented decorative gear selector cover is designed for installation in the front part of the interior, in the center tunnel area where the gear shifting mechanism is located. Its task is to aesthetically frame the lever, mask the mounts, and harmoniously connect the console with other cockpit panels. As a result, the interior of the BMW 1 Series E87 maintains a cohesive, orderly character, and the gear shifting zone remains ergonomic and clear.

Diamantschwarz High Gloss finish

The Diamantschwarz High Gloss finish is a characteristic, glossy black that blends well with other factory BMW trims. This type of surface emphasizes the modern character of the cockpit while remaining visually neutral, making it suitable for both light and dark upholstery. A properly selected trim in this area improves the overall impression of interior quality and helps maintain a consistent look for the entire center console.

Benefits of using an original cover

Using an original gear selector cover in the BMW 1 Series E87 ensures:

• factory fit to the shape of the center tunnel and adjacent elements,
• color and material consistency with other interior trims,
• stable mounting in the front part of the console, without the need for modifications,
• aesthetic masking of edges and gaps around the gear shifting mechanism.

Thanks to this, replacing a worn or damaged element with an original decorative cover allows you to quickly restore a neat, orderly look to the vehicle's interior without compromising on fitment.

Product characteristics and installation

The cover belongs to the group of interior trim elements installed in the front part of the cabin, in the immediate vicinity of the gear selector. The product is used, which in practice means it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of normal wear while maintaining full mounting functionality. In most cases, replacing the element is limited to removing the old cover and seating the new one in the existing mounting points, while exercising caution when working with plastic clips and adjacent panels.

Part selection and additional information

To correctly select the decorative gear selector cover for a specific BMW 1 Series E87 configuration, it is worth paying attention to the manufacturer's markings, OEM part numbers, and interchangeable numbers – all this data is available in the technical specifications section. This allows you to verify the compatibility of the element with the equipment version and vehicle year, which minimizes the risk of installation problems.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the front center console area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as additional decorative panels, frames around the selector, or tunnel covers, check the available parts in the Other BMW category.
