BMW 5-Series Alcantara Auto Shift Boot

Give your 2004–2010 BMW 5-Series (E60/E61) a factory-fit, custom-upholstered upgrade. This Alcantara® auto shift boot is built on OEM geometry, so it’s a direct replacement for the original gaiter/cover and installs into the factory trim ring—no cutting or improvising. Each piece is custom made to order for a perfect fit and finish.

Custom Alcantara, Forged Carbon Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Nappa Leather

Choose your material to match your build: deep-pile Alcantara® in OEM colors, smooth Nappa leather for a classic look, or our forged carbon/carbon fiber overlays for the trim ring. All options are stitched to spec (thread color and pattern options available) and built as OEM-geometry replacements. This is an OEM+ enhancement and a direct swap for the stock boot and frame.

Installation tools needed

• Plastic trim removal tools (to avoid marring the console)
• T20/T25 Torx driver (as needed for console screws by model year)
• Small flat screwdriver or pick (to release retaining tabs)
• Isopropyl alcohol and microfiber (clean mating surfaces)
• Optional: contact adhesive or double-sided automotive tape (if your frame needs new bonding for the boot lip)

OEM+ parts, Direct swap of OEM parts

Our boot is patterned from Genuine BMW 25167522370 for a direct fit into the factory surround (51167077662 or 51167034089 depending on trim). No wiring, coding, or permanent modifications required—simply transfer your frame/trim, snap in, and drive.
