Used BMW 5 Series Brake

Both years fall within the E60 generation (2003–2010), so there is a reasonable chance the brakes will interchange, but BMW did introduce mid-generation brake upgrades on some E60 variants and you should confirm against your exact registration with the breaker before ordering.

The E60 ran from 2003 to 2010 and the F10 from 2010 to 2016 — these are separate generations with different running gear, and brakes from one will not fit the other, so always source parts from the correct generation.

Yes — larger-engined models such as the 530d or 535i typically carry bigger brake discs and callipers than smaller-engined variants like the 520d, so make sure the breaker matches the part to your specific engine size as well as your generation.

The F10 received a facelift in 2013, and while both sit within the same generation (2010–2016), mid-generation brake specification changes are possible and you should confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming they are identical.

Trim level itself does not determine brake fitment on the 5 Series — what matters is the generation and engine size; however, M Sport models can be optioned with larger brake packages, so confirm the specific brake specification against your registration with the breaker, as the parts may look visually different even if the trim name is the same.

For front brake discs the side usually does not matter as they are typically identical left and right, but front callipers are handed NS and OS, so always tell the breaker which side you need to make sure you receive the correct part.
