Purpose and function of the component

The described instrument panel middle trim is dedicated to BMW 7 Series F01/F02 models and is mounted in the front part of the dashboard.

• visual consistency of the upper console area,
• stable seating of adjacent modules,
• reduction of unwanted gaps and rattles in the instrument cluster area.
