Design:

The E53 switch panel idea originated from ECS engineer Mike Day when adding a full build out of lighting to his overland X5. The best ideas come from the people who are in the process of achieving a goal and find a solution to help them complete the job, but better! The switch panel was designed off of a 3D scan of the E53 X5 interior and features OEM+ fitment to blend with your interior.
