Anyone replaced the parking switch button?

Post by celica » Mon Mar 19, 2018 9:43 pm

Ours has come loose and looking at most cost effective way to fix

Still works when in situ but is it going to be a new switch requirement ?

Ours has the Auto H button too

Very simple to replace. You’re probably looking at about £50 for the part and 20 mins work:

Yup, I did mine. As above, it is pretty straightforward.

Mine also came from eBay, with a replacement gear selector included as a bonus, all for £80.

Thanks both

The above link from eBay isn’t one item. Is there much difference?

Just had a browse

Part number 61319148508 required

Some eBay bmw oem dealers are £50 posted in a few days so may go down this option

Third party item is cheaper but add on postage it’s only £20 different which isn’t oem and longer lead time

I did mine.  Dead easy to replace, just be careful when pulling the chrome trim from around the iDrive/ gear lever/ parking brake unit.  I got some proper trim removal tools from eBay (about £3) to do it, and they needed some force to release the clips near the arm rest.
