What this part does
The glove box mounts on the passenger side of the lower dashboard, providing an enclosed and secure storage area for vehicle documentation, electronics, and personal items. The complete assembly typically houses the outer door panel, the interior storage bin, the latching mechanism, and the dampening shock that controls the door's descent. When this component requires replacement, it is usually due to snapped plastic hinges, a seized or broken latch mechanism, or the outer covering separating from the backing material due to long-term heat exposure in the cabin.

Before you order
Match the interior trim color of the vehicle it came from to your own, as the BMW 5 Series utilized several distinct interior shades for this generation, including Black, Sand Beige, and Grey. You will need to remove the lock cylinder from your original glove box and install it into this replacement assembly so that your existing master key continues to operate the lock.
