Why is this part important?
The steering-column switch is responsible for controlling several functions that you use every time you drive. When the switch develops a fault, you may experience problems with indicators, wipers or other integrated controls.
Replacing a worn or faulty switch can restore proper operation of these essential driver controls.
Important fitment information
BMW used different steering-column switch configurations depending on the vehicle's options. Always confirm the VIN and vehicle specification before ordering. Some applications differ according to equipment such as rain sensors, cruise control and steering-wheel options.

Does it need coding?
- If you are replacing the same part number/configuration: it may work after installation without extensive coding, but the vehicle should still be scanned and checked for faults.
- If the SZL configuration differs: coding/programming may be required so the vehicle recognises the installed equipment.
- Steering-angle calibration: this is particularly important after work involving the steering-column switch/steering-angle sensor. The SZL and its calibration are closely related.
- If functions such as cruise control, rain sensor or multifunction steering-wheel controls are involved, the vehicle's coding/option configuration needs to match the installed switch.
