BMW Interior Trim diagram for X7

An interior quarter panel trim panel is a protective and decorative panel located on the interior side of a vehicle’s quarter panel—the section of the car body between the rear door (or rear edge of the vehicle) and the rear window. These panels are usually made of plastic, fabric, or composite materials and are designed to match the vehicle’s interior styling.

Functions:

• Aesthetic enhancement: Gives the interior a finished, clean look.
• Protection: Shields the metal quarter panel from scratches, dents, and wear caused by passengers, cargo, or shifting objects.
• Concealment: Hides wiring, structural components, and insulation within the quarter panel.
• Noise and vibration reduction: Helps dampen sound and vibrations from outside the vehicle.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
