Show original supplier description
The BMW Genuine Parts back-up light switch (MPN 23147524811) is a direct-fit replacement component designed to activate your vehicle's reverse lights when the transmission is shifted into reverse. This switch is crucial for visibility when backing up and can also influence backup camera and auto-mirror functions in certain BMW models. Symptoms of a failing switch include reverse lights not illuminating, intermittent or flickering reverse lights, and potentially transmission-related fault codes on electronically controlled systems. This Genuine BMW part is manufactured to the brand's stringent standards and is made in Romania. It features an M12x1.5 thread size and includes the OE numbers 23147524811, 23140396403, 23140409754, 23141221706, 23141434584, and 23147506637. This back-up light switch is compatible with a wide range of BMW models, including various 5 Series (525i, 530i, 535i, 540i), M5, 8 Series (850i), and 1 Series (128i, 135i, 318i, 318is, 318ti, 323Ci, 323i) vehicles. Fitment is specific to manual transmissions, with particular attention to engine size, drive type (RWD), and specific model notes such as production date ranges. For example, the 2004 BMW 525i requires confirmation between Automatic and Manual RWD Sedan configurations. Please verify your vehicle's specific requirements, particularly for models like the M5 which has fitment across various engine sizes and transmission types (e.g., Automatic Dual Clutch RWD Sedan vs. Manual RWD Sedan).
