Original BMW Steering Column Combination Switch Unit for BMW 3 Series E90/E92/E93 (2007–2013) and Z4 E89 (2009–2016)

Original BMW part 61-31-9-169-755 is the steering column switch unit for the 2007–2013 BMW 3 Series and the 2009–2016 BMW Z4. It is the combination switch assembly that groups several driver controls into one module at the column. A combination switch puts functions that would otherwise need separate switches into a single stalk-and-lever unit, so one failing part can affect several systems at once. BMW put this number into production in September 2008. It is sold as one complete unit and covers the E90 sedan from its facelift onward, the E92 coupe, the E93 convertible, and the E89 Z4.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The September 2008 production start separates this switch from earlier sedan versions. For this number, BMW's parts data shows the E90 only in facelift form. If you have a 2007 or 2008 sedan built before that change, check it by build date. On the 3 Series, engine coverage includes the N51 and N52N in the 328i, the N54 and N55 in the 335i, the N54T in the 335is, and the M57N2 diesel in the 335d. On the Z4, BMW includes the N20 in the sDrive28i, the N52N and N54 models, and the N54T in the 35is.

Common Questions

What are the symptoms of a failing combination switch?
Turn signals may not engage, may not cancel, or may flash abnormally. Headlights can flicker, stick on one setting, or fail to switch between high and low beam. Wipers or washers may stop responding, work only intermittently, or stay stuck at one speed.

Does this switch fit both the E92 coupe and the E93 convertible?
Yes. BMW includes both body styles, before and after their facelifts, along with the E92 335is.

For other E90, E92, E93, or E89 parts, the PMB team is a message away.
