Fitment questions
Do BMW 6 Series cars actually have CV joints?
Yes, all BMW 6 Series models have CV joints — they are fitted to the driveshafts on both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive four-wheel-drive variants, as the independent rear suspension setup uses constant-velocity joints to transfer drive to the rear wheels. On xDrive models there are also CV joints at the front driveshafts. So regardless of which 6 Series you have, CV joints are a genuine part you can source from a breaker.
Will CV joints from an E63/E64 6 Series (2003–2010) fit my F12/F13/F06 6 Series (2011–2018)?
The E63/E64 (coupe and convertible, 2003–2010) and the F12/F13/F06 generation (convertible, coupe and gran coupe, 2011–2018) are entirely different platforms with different rear subframe and driveshaft configurations, so CV joints are not a straight swap between generations. You should only be looking at parts from the same generation as your car. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
Does engine size affect which CV joints I need on the 6 Series?
Engine size can affect CV joint specification on the 6 Series because higher-torque engines — particularly the V8 and V10 units on the E63 generation, and the larger six-cylinder and V8 engines on the F12/F13/F06 — may use heavier-duty driveshaft components than the entry-level six-cylinder variants. Always give the breaker your full registration so they can match the correct joint to your specific engine. Never assume a CV joint from a lower-powered 6 Series will be the right spec for a more powerful variant.
Do I need to specify NS or OS when buying a used 6 Series CV joint?
Yes — CV joints are side-specific, so you need to tell the breaker whether you need the nearside (NS, left/kerb side) or offside (OS, right/driver's side) joint. Getting the wrong side is a common mistake that causes unnecessary delay. Double-check which side needs replacing before contacting a breaker.
Does trim level affect which CV joints I need — for example, does an M Sport 6 Series use different CV joints to a standard SE?
Trim level alone does not affect CV joint fitment on the 6 Series — the SE, Sport and M Sport badges reflect interior and cosmetic differences rather than changes to the driveshaft or suspension geometry. What matters is the generation, the engine, and the drivetrain (rear-wheel-drive or xDrive), not the trim name. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker to be certain.
Will a CV joint from an early F12/F13 (2011) fit a facelifted F12/F13 (2015 onwards)?
The F12/F13/F06 generation received a facelift from around 2015, but the fundamental platform, suspension layout and driveshaft architecture did not change at that point. Parts may well interchange across the facelift year, but because there can be detail differences between build dates and engine variants, you should confirm interchangeability against both registrations with the breaker rather than assuming they are identical.
