Used BMW 4 Series Bonnet

The BMW 4 Series has run across two generations: the F32/F33/F36 (2013–2020) and the G22/G23/G26 (2021–present). Bonnets are shared across body styles within each generation, so the generation is the first thing to confirm when sourcing a used panel. Always give your exact registration to the breaker so they can verify the correct generation.

The F32-generation 4 Series received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the lights, grille and bumpers. The bonnet itself may or may not interchange across that 2017 facelift boundary, and this is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Naming the pre- or post-facelift status when you request a quote will help the breaker advise you accurately.

Both a 2015 and a 2019 4 Series fall within the F32/F33/F36 generation (2013–2020), but 2015 is pre-facelift and 2019 is post-facelift, with the facelift occurring in 2017. Whether the bonnet crosses that facelift boundary is not something we can state as fact, so check with the breaker against both registrations before committing.

No — within the same generation, the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across the coupe, convertible and Gran Coupe body styles, so body style does not affect which bonnet you need. The generation (F32-family or G22-family) and facelift period are what matter. Confirm the generation and facelift status with your breaker to make sure you get the right panel.

Trim level — whether SE, Sport, M Sport or M440i — does not affect bonnet fitment on the 4 Series; the panel itself is the same across trims within a generation and facelift period. That said, there may be cosmetic differences between panels sourced from different trims, such as surface finish or whether a bonnet came from a car with specific front-end options, so check the condition and finish with the breaker. Generation and facelift period remain the key fitment questions.

Engine type makes no difference to bonnet fitment on the 4 Series — the bonnet is the same panel regardless of whether the donor car was a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period instead, and always confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.
