A used brake 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:
No - these are entirely different generations. The E63/E64 ran from 2003 to 2010, while the F12/F13 generation covers 2011 to 2018, and the two use completely different brake hardware, caliper mounting, and hub designs. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can pull the exact generation.
Both fall within the F12/F13 generation (2011-2018), so the basic platform is shared, however the F12/F13 received a facelift in 2015, and there is a possibility of mid-generation brake specification changes before that point. Confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming year-to-year compatibility.
Engine size can matter for brakes on the 6 Series because larger, more powerful variants like the 650i were often fitted with uprated, larger brake assemblies compared with a 640i. You should not assume the two are interchangeable even within the same generation - quote both the donor and recipient registrations to the breaker to get a definitive check.
Trim level alone does not determine brake fitment - an SE and a Sport of the same engine variant are likely to share the same brake specification. However, the M Sport and especially the full M6 may carry larger or differently specified brakes suited to their performance credentials, so treat those as separate cases and confirm with the breaker against both registrations.
The F12/F13 facelift arrived for the 2015 model year, and while many running-gear components carried over, brake specifications can sometimes be revised at or around a facelift point. Name the boundary to your breaker - give them both registrations and ask them to cross-reference the part numbers before buying.
The F13 coupe and F12 convertible share the same platform and running gear, so brake components are generally the same across those two body styles within the same engine variant. The Gran Coupe (F06) also shares the same generation but is a four-door body on a slightly different floorplan, so confirm with the breaker if you are crossing between the Gran Coupe and the coupe or convertible.
