Start your part requestUsed doors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the E60 (2003–2010) and F10 (2010–2017) are entirely different generations with different body structures, so their doors are not interchangeable. You need to match the generation exactly: E60 doors for E60 cars, F10 doors for F10 cars. Always confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
The F10 ran from 2010 to 2017, with a facelift introduced in 2013 — the door frame and fit are generally the same across that generation, but subtle exterior styling details such as mirror bases or trim-line pressing differences can vary across the facelift. Whether a specific door from a 2011 car will sit and seal correctly on a 2014 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as they can check the exact part references. Colour will differ and can be resprayed, so that is not a fitment concern.
For door fitment on the BMW 5 Series, trim level — whether SE, Sport or M Sport — does not affect whether the door will physically fit, as the door frame and shell are the same across trims within the same generation. However, you may notice cosmetic differences such as different exterior mirror finishes or trim detailing on the door itself, which can be swapped over or resprayed. Whether features like electric folding or indicator-integrated mirrors on an M Sport door match your car's wiring should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration.
The E39 BMW 5 Series ran from 1995 to 2003 and was available as a four-door saloon and five-door estate (Touring), so you must match both the generation and the body style when sourcing a door. You also need to specify NS (nearside, passenger side, left) versus OS (offside, driver side, right), as front doors are side-specific and not interchangeable left to right. The engine or trim level does not affect door fitment, so focus on confirming generation, body style, and side with the breaker.
The E60 is the saloon and the E61 is the estate (Touring) variant of the same fifth-generation 5 Series (2003–2010), and while they share the same generation, their rear doors and body pressings differ due to the different roof and body structure of the estate. Front doors may share more similarity, but given the structural differences between saloon and Touring variants you should confirm directly with the breaker whether a specific door from one body style will fit the other. Always match body style as well as generation when searching for a used door.
Colour is purely a cosmetic consideration and has no effect on whether a door will physically fit your car — any correctly matched door can be resprayed to your vehicle's colour code. What actually determines fitment is the generation, body style, and whether the door is NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right). Focus on getting those details right and confirm them with the breaker against your registration.
Fitment guidance is general and mistakes can happen - vehicle specifications vary and manufacturers make mid-production changes. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the supplying breaker before buying.
