3L I6 Naturally Aspirated N52B30 (240hp).
Quick reference
Color codes vary by interior trim (Leather/Dakota/Hexagon); verify exact color code before purchase
F18 LWB (Chinese market long-wheelbase) compatibility uncertain due to extended rear passenger area
Pre-LCI (2010-2013) vs LCI (2014-2016) models may have subtle texture/grain differences in plastic
Context
The right C-pillar interior trim for the 2011 BMW 528i (F10 chassis) secures the passenger-side rear pillar cover and conceals the side curtain airbag rear anchor points. Genuine panels carry part numbers such as 51 47 7 231 514 for black interiors, though the final three digits vary by color code (Beige, Grey, etc.). Interchange spans 2010-2016 F10 sedans including the 535i and 550i, but excludes F11 Touring and F07 GT variants. When pulling from salvage yards, inspect for cracked mounting ears—BMW uses brittle POM plastic clips that shear during removal. Verify the curtain airbag hasn't deployed, as explosive force warps the trim backing. Installation requires peeling back the rear door weatherstrip and releasing the seatbelt upper guide; disconnect the battery before service due to airbag proximity. Common failures include UV fading on sun-facing glass edges and broken lower retaining tabs from improper prying.
