• the need to restore full functionality of the flap opening system,
• post-accident repairs and interior installation service.

Choosing an original used switch allows for maintaining visual and functional consistency with other cockpit elements.

Technical support and part selection

Before installation, it is recommended to compare the markings and connector type with the component removed from the vehicle to confirm full compatibility with the specific equipment version. In case of doubt, it is helpful to cross-reference data with BMW service documentation or consult a mechanic specializing in i3 and i8 models.
