Second Hand BMW 6 Series Bonnet Latch

Yes, the BMW 6 Series has a bonnet and bonnet latch across all of its generations — this is a standard front-end component fitted to every variant of the car. The key fitment question is which generation your car belongs to: the E24 (1976–1989), E63/E64 (2003–2010), F06/F12/F13 (2011–2018), or G32 Gran Turismo (which is technically badged as a 6 Series Gran Turismo, 2017–2023). Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct latch for your exact car.

Both 2007 and 2009 sit within the E63/E64 generation (2003–2010), so they share the same front-end platform and the bonnet latch should be the same part. That said, the E63/E64 received a facelift in 2007 that updated the front end, so you should confirm with the breaker whether both cars are pre- or post-facelift to be sure the latch and surrounding components match.

The F12/F13/F06 generation ran from 2011 to 2018 and received a facelift in 2015, which brought changes to the front end including the bumper and grille area. The bonnet latch itself is a mechanical component that may or may not change across that facelift boundary — confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying to avoid ending up with a non-fitting part.

No — within the same generation, the bonnet latch is part of the shared front-end structure, and body style (Coupe, Convertible, or Gran Coupe) does not affect which latch is fitted. A latch from an F12 Convertible should correspond to the same part as one from an F13 Coupe or F06 Gran Coupe of the same facelift period, but always confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain.

No — trim level and engine choice do not affect bonnet latch fitment on the 6 Series, whether your car is a 620d, 640i, 650i, or M6. The latch is determined by the generation and facelift period, not by what's under the bonnet. Your registration is the quickest way for a breaker to pull the right part.

No, these are from two completely different generations — a 2005 car is E63/E64 (2003–2010) while a 2012 car is F12/F13/F06 (2011–2018), and the front-end structures are not interchangeable between generations. You'll need to source a latch specifically from the E63/E64 generation; give your registration to the breaker and they'll match the correct part.
