Purpose and function in the vehicle

The BMW i3 I01 parking brake switch is responsible for controlling the electric parking brake from the console in the front part of the cabin. Its placement in the driver's area ensures convenient access and intuitive operation, while the design tailored to the specific BMW model guarantees a proper fit with the interior trim elements.

The component belongs to the Switches, control elements and ignition switches group, which means it works with the vehicle's electrical system and control modules responsible for activating and releasing the parking brake. A properly functioning button is crucial for safe parking and keeping the vehicle stably in place.

Construction, color scheme and interior integration

The switch housing is finished in black, allowing it to blend harmoniously with the factory styling of the BMW i3 I01 cockpit. The neutral color scheme facilitates integration with adjacent panels, and the ergonomic shape of the button promotes reliable operation even during frequent use.

The switch design is adapted to factory mounting points and electrical connectors, allowing for installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications. This type of solution reduces service time and minimizes the risk of installation errors.

Condition, origin and technical aspects

The offered BMW parking brake switch has been classified as a used original component, which in practice means it retains factory geometry, compatibility with the electrical system, and proper fitment with interior panels. For vehicles where the button has suffered mechanical damage or wear and tear, this is a cost-effective service solution.

The part has a dedicated OEM number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which facilitates clear identification and selection of the correct variant for a specific BMW i3 I01 configuration. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the markings with the removed part or the vehicle's service documentation.

Selection, installation and operational safety

Before installation, it is recommended to verify the compatibility of the switch with the specific equipment version of the BMW i3 I01, with particular attention to the installation in the front of the cabin. A correctly selected component allows for:

• restoring full functionality of the electric parking brake,
• maintaining a consistent look of the center console,
• reducing error messages related to parking brake operation.

Due to its connection to the vehicle's safety system, it is recommended to entrust the installation of the switch to a workshop with experience in working with BMW electrical systems. After installation, it is recommended to check the correct operation of the button and perform any necessary system diagnostics.
