Finish and Color Scheme

Using an original BMW component ensures compliance with the vehicle’s factory specifications, which is important both visually and for installation – no modifications or adjustments of aftermarket alternatives are necessary.

- Replacing a damaged or cracked part on the driver’s side,
- Completing missing trim sections after interior repairs,
- Refreshing the BMW X5 E70 cabin to restore a cohesive cockpit appearance.
By retaining the factory shape and color, the part allows for a quick restoration of interior aesthetics without altering the dashboard or center tunnel structure.
