BMW iDrive washer "ceramic" | Shipping across Europe

Ceramic washer overlay for iDrive controller – a stylish and functional solution for owners of BMW E and F series cars in the M Sport performance trim. The unique "ceramic-like" finish gives the multimedia system a modern look, visually bringing it closer to the latest generations of NBT EVO and MGU interfaces. Thanks to the increased size of the washer, system control becomes more convenient and comfortable, and the interior aesthetics receive an additional premium accent.

The overlay is installed on top of the original washer of the iDrive multimedia system controller and is fully compatible with its functionality. After installation, the top part with arrows remains stationary (the arrows are backlit), and the joystick handle retains its ability to rotate, as in the factory version. If necessary, the appearance can easily be restored – the installation is reversible and leaves no traces.

Installation technology

The installation process requires no special tools or disassembly of the controller. Simply carefully pry off and remove the original washer’s top black cover and silver plastic ring, then install the new washer housing with slight pressure, aligning the 4 internal guide mounts. The video tutorial clearly demonstrates all installation steps:

Visual advantages
