BMW 5 Series Window Regulator Replacement Parts

No — the E60 (2003–2010) and F10 (2010–2017) are entirely different generations with different door structures, so their window regulators are not interchangeable. Always quote your generation to the breaker and confirm against your registration to be sure.

The F10 5 Series ran from 2010 to 2017 with a facelift in 2013, but the body shell and door structure remained the same across both phases, so regulators generally cross over within the F10 generation. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as internal revisions can occasionally affect fitment.

Trim level — SE, Sport, M Sport — does not affect window regulator fitment, as the door shell and regulator mechanism are the same across trims in the same generation. xDrive is a drivetrain choice and makes no difference to door fitment either. You may find cosmetically different interior door furniture depending on trim, but the regulator itself is determined by generation and side (NS or OS), not trim.

The F10 saloon and F11 Touring (estate) share the same front door design within the same generation (2010–2017), so a nearside front regulator should correspond between the two body styles. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying, as Findapart cannot guarantee fitment across individual cars.

The G30 saloon and G31 Touring (both 2017 onwards) share the same front door design, so front NS or OS regulators should correspond between them. Rear doors differ between saloon and Touring body styles, so for a rear regulator confirm carefully with the breaker, specifying your body style and which side you need.

Yes — NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) regulators are mirror images of one another and are not interchangeable, so always specify the correct side to your breaker. You also need to confirm your generation (for example E60, F10, or G30) as regulators differ between them entirely.
