BMW 4 Series Bonnet Latch Replacement Parts

The F32-generation BMW 4 Series ran from 2013 to 2020, with a facelift arriving in 2017, so your question spans that boundary. The bonnet latch itself sits behind the grille and is unlikely to be affected by the styling changes at the facelift, but because front-end components can differ around that boundary, you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

All three body styles — the two-door Coupe, the Convertible, and the four-door Gran Coupe — share the same front-end structure within the F32 generation, and the bonnet latch is a front-end component unaffected by roof style or door count. A latch from any of those body styles should be interchangeable within the same generation, but always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect the bonnet latch on the BMW 4 Series — the latch is a mechanical front-end component shared across SE, Sport, M Sport, and other trim variants within the same generation. The bonnets themselves are the same pressing regardless of trim, so you do not need to source a latch specifically from an M Sport donor car.

The G22-generation BMW 4 Series launched in 2020, replacing the F32 generation, and the two generations have entirely different front-end structures including different bonnets and latches. You need to source a latch from a G22-generation donor car (2020 onwards), not an F32, so make sure the breaker confirms the donor vehicle's generation against your registration.

Engine type — whether petrol, diesel, or even the plug-in hybrid variant — has no bearing on the bonnet latch, as it is a shared front-end fitting across all engine variants within a generation. Simply match the generation of the donor car to yours and the latch should be correct, though you should always confirm with the breaker against your registration.

The F32-generation BMW 4 Series was produced from 2013 to 2020, with a mid-life facelift introduced in 2017 that brought changes to the lights, grille and bumpers. The bonnet latch is a mechanical catch behind the grille and may well be unaffected by those facelift styling revisions, but whether a pre-facelift latch crosses to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.
