Switch — a genuine BMW part, number 61 31 1 388 278. The number stamped on the part is 61311388278; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1388278. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Switch. It supersedes the older numbers 0152667 and 1378287, so a part carrying any of them is the same part. BMW has since replaced it with 1388277.

It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 17 diagrams, among them Various switches (61_0748) and Various switches (61_0749). It weighs about 10 g (under 0.1 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
