Properly contoured edges and factory mounting points facilitate installation and removal, and minimize the risk of looseness or unwanted noises while driving.

In practice, this means that after proper installation, the panel creates a cohesive surface with the other interior trim elements, maintaining the original BMW styling line without requiring any structural modifications.
