A used aerial that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The BMW 4 Series started with the F32 (coupé), F33 (convertible), and F36 (Gran Coupé) generation from 2013, followed by the G22/G23/G26 generation from 2020 onwards. Aerials and their mountings can differ between these two generations, so a part from an F32-era car may not be a direct swap onto a G22-era car. If your search spans that 2020 boundary, confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes, this is one of the most important things to check — BMW 4 Series cars were fitted with different aerial designs across the range, and a shark-fin roof aerial and a traditional screw-in mast aerial are not interchangeable. Check your own car before approaching a breaker, and let them know which type you need so they can match the correct part.
Trim level does not affect the aerial itself in terms of fitment — the aerial mounting and connector are determined by the generation and body style rather than whether the car is a Sport, M Sport, or Luxury. You may find very minor cosmetic differences in the finish of a shark-fin housing between trim levels, but the functional part is the same; confirm the body style and generation with the breaker against your registration.
The F32-generation 4 Series received a facelift in 2017, but this primarily affected styling details rather than the aerial mounting or connector. A pre-facelift (2013–2017) and post-facelift (2017–2020) F32-generation aerial are likely to be compatible, but because this crosses a production boundary it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
Within the same generation, the F32 coupé, F33 convertible, and F36 Gran Coupé may share the same aerial type, but the routing, cable length, and mounting can vary between body styles. It is not safe to assume they are interchangeable without checking, so describe your exact body style to the breaker and ask them to confirm the part matches your registration.
For most buyers it is a fairly simple purchase — you are looking for the correct generation, body style, and aerial type (shark-fin or mast), with no engine or drivetrain dependency to worry about. The main practical check is the connector and cable length, which can vary, so ask the breaker to confirm these details against your registration before committing.
