Module purpose and function

The presented dashboard knee module is a passive safety system component, mounted in the area under the steering wheel or in front of the passenger, depending on the BMW F98 body version. Its task is to work with the factory protection system so that in the event of a collision, energy is properly distributed within the lower part of the cockpit.

Thanks to its OEM-compliant design, the module maintains the correct geometry relative to other dashboard elements, which is essential for both safety and the proper installation of covers, panels, and other interior components.

Construction and integration with the dashboard

The module has been designed as part of the dashboard assembly system, taking into account factory mounting points and wiring harness routing. The properly shaped housing allows for precise fitting with the knee panel, air ducts, and other cockpit elements.

Original manufacturing ensures:

• compliance with the factory interior geometry of the BMW F98,
• the possibility of direct installation in place of a damaged element,
• proper cooperation with the dashboard structure and load-bearing elements.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The item comes from a BMW vehicle and is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair of the cockpit area while maintaining the original specification. Choosing such a solution is particularly beneficial in the case of post-accident repairs when it is necessary to replace several components at once.

A used dashboard knee module is a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining factory build quality. Its original origin promotes proper fitment to the existing installation and minimizes the risk of assembly problems.
