Original BMW Alarm Contact Switch for BMW, Mini, and Land Rover Range Rover (1995–2016)

Mounted under the hood or in the trunk, this Original BMW alarm contact switch tells the anti-theft system when a lid is open, and it covers a wide range of BMW models from 1995 to 2015, plus Mini and Land Rover Range Rover applications. BMW names it the contact switch. It weighs 12 g, is made in Poland, and has been produced since April 2006. It is sold individually.

This number consolidates a long string of earlier switches. BMW lists it as the replacement for 61-31-0-416-687 and marks it exchangeable retrospectively. It also crosses to 61-31-4-837-607, 61-31-0-152-669, 61-31-8-352-229, 61-31-0-395-781, 61-31-4-837-182, and 61-31-4-157-962. If the switch on your car shows any of these numbers, this is the current part. Because the same switch is used at both the hood and trunk positions, one part number covers either location.
