What to check when buying a used BMW 5 Series window winder motor
A used window winder motor that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- Specify front/rear and left/right
- State if it needs to include the regulator

Fitment questions
Does a window winder motor from an E39 5 Series fit an E60 5 Series?
No – the E39 (1995–2003) and E60 (2003–2010) are entirely different generations with different door structures, so their window winder motors are not interchangeable. Always quote your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part.
Will a pre-facelift E60 window winder motor fit a post-facelift E60?
The E60 5 Series ran from 2003 to 2010 with a facelift in 2007, but the body shell and door frames did not fundamentally change across that update. In most cases the motor should be the same, but because mid-range electrical component variants can change without obvious external signs, confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Does the number of doors matter when buying a BMW 5 Series window winder motor?
Yes – the 5 Series is a four-door saloon or five-door estate (Touring), and front and rear door motors are not the same part, so you must specify which door you need. You also need to state the side: NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right), as motors are handed.
Does trim level affect which window winder motor I need – for example, does an SE motor fit an M Sport?
Trim level – whether SE, Sport, M Sport, or Luxury – does not affect window winder motor fitment on the 5 Series, as the door frames and mechanisms are the same across trims. The generation, body style (saloon or Touring), door position, and side (NS/OS) are what matter, so a motor from any trim will fit another of the same generation and door.
I have an F10 5 Series – can I use a window winder motor from an F11 Touring?
The F10 saloon and F11 Touring share the same generation (2010–2017, facelift 2013) and their front door motors are generally the same, but the rear doors differ between the two body styles. Specify saloon or Touring, the door position, and the side (NS/OS) when getting a quote, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Does a window winder motor from a 2012 5 Series fit a 2015 facelift model?
The F10 generation ran from 2010 to 2017 with a facelift in 2013, so a 2012 car is pre-facelift and a 2015 car is post-facelift. The door structure did not change between these, so in many cases the motor will be compatible, but because electrical components can have mid-life specification changes, route this cross-facelift swap to the breaker to confirm against both registrations before purchasing.
