Original BMW Cigarette Lighter Element for BMW and Mini Models (1996–2024)

Original BMW part 61-34-9-308-246 is the push-in lighter element for the dash or console lighter socket, used across a long run of BMW and Mini models built from 1996–2024. BMW calls it the lighter element. It weighs 17 g (0.6 oz), and production of this number started in August 2014. It replaced 61 34 6 969 134, and BMW marks that change as exchangeable retrospectively, so this element can go into cars that came with the older one. A lighter element heats its coil when pressed into the socket and pops back out once it is hot.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The same element also cross-references to BMW numbers 61-34-0-141-222, 61-34-0-404-532, 61-34-8-372-912, and 61-34-8-383-214, along with W01331906677, which explains why so many generations share it. BMW's parts data assigns it to the E36 and E46 3 Series, the E81, E82, E87, and E88 1 Series, the E90, E91, E92, and E93 3 Series, the F20 and F21 1 Series, the F22, F23, F45, F46, and F87 2 Series, the F30 through F35 and F80 3 Series, the G20 and G21 3 Series, the F32, F33, F36, F82, and F83 4 Series, and the E39 and E60 5 Series, among other chassis.
