BMW 6 Series Curtain Airbag Replacement Parts

Yes, curtain airbags were fitted to the BMW 6 Series across its generations, deploying from the roofline above the side windows to protect occupants' heads in a side impact. The 6 Series is a two-door coupé and convertible (and later four-door Gran Coupé), so the curtain airbag covers the side glass area relevant to that body style. Because the body styles vary by generation, it's worth confirming with the breaker which body style your car is before ordering.

The E63 (coupé) and E64 (convertible) ran from 2003 to 2010, and within that generation fitment is primarily determined by which side you need — nearside (NS, passenger) or offside (OS, driver) — and whether your car is the coupé or convertible, as the roof structures differ. Engine variant does not affect curtain airbag fitment. Confirm the exact airbag module compatibility against your registration with the breaker, as SRS system variants can differ.

The F-generation 6 Series ran from 2011 to 2018 and covered three body styles: the F13 coupé, F12 convertible, and F06 Gran Coupé, and the curtain airbag design differs between these body styles so you must match the body style as well as the side (NS or OS). Engine choice makes no difference to fitment. Always confirm the airbag module is compatible with your specific SRS system by checking your registration with the breaker.

The F13 coupé received a facelift around 2015, and while many structural components carried over, curtain airbag module compatibility across that facelift boundary is not something that can be guaranteed without checking. Name the facelift year and your registration when contacting the breaker, as SRS system calibration or connector changes may apply. This is a safety-critical part, so confirming compatibility against your specific car is essential before purchasing.

Trim level does not typically affect curtain airbag fitment on the BMW 6 Series, as the airbag is tied to the body structure rather than the interior or equipment level. Whether your car is SE, Sport, M Sport, or M6, the curtain airbag for the same generation and body style should correspond — though you may find cosmetic differences in headlining or trim pieces around the airbag area depending on spec. Always confirm against your registration with the breaker to rule out any SRS system differences.

Curtain airbags are safety-critical components and should always be fitted by a qualified professional — incorrect installation can cause the airbag to fail to deploy in a crash or to deploy unexpectedly, both of which are extremely dangerous. Like all airbags, curtain airbags are single-use: once deployed they cannot be reused, so a used unit must be one that has never been triggered. A professional will also ensure the SRS warning light is properly reset and the system is functioning correctly after fitting.
