{"product_id":"bmw-parking-brake-switch","title":"Original BMW Electromechanical Parking Brake Switch for BMW E70 X5 and E71 X6 (2007–2008)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the E70 X5 and the early E71 X6, the parking brake is set with a switch instead of a hand lever, and this Original BMW EMF switch is that control for 2007–2008 models. EMF is BMW's abbreviation for its electromechanical parking brake. The switch is the input the driver uses to apply and release the brake electrically. BMW lists the switch from January 2007 production. It replaces the earlier part number 61-31-6-975-468 and is marked as exchangeable retrospectively. This switch is made in the United States and sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Original BMW part from PMB Performance includes a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supersession matters if you are working from an older parts list or an invoice for a launch-year X5. Because BMW rates the newer 61-31-9-156-133 as backward compatible with 61-31-6-975-468, an early car built under the old number can take this switch. If your old invoice shows the earlier number, this is the correct replacement. BMW applies the same switch across the E70 gasoline engines (N52N, N55, N62N, and N63), the diesels (M57N2 and N57), and the S63-powered X5 M. It is also used on the E71 X6 and the E72 ActiveHybrid X6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 61-31-9-156-133\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Switch EMF (electromechanical parking brake switch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: 61-31-6-975-468, exchangeable retrospectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: January 2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: E70 X5 and E71 X6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy X5 has part number 61-31-6-975-468.
