Start your part requestThe BMW 6 Series ran across two main generations: the E63/E64 from 2003 to 2010, and the F06/F12/F13 from 2011 to 2018. Within each generation the front grille design is broadly shared, but both generations received facelifts — the E63/E64 was facelifted around 2007 and the F-series around 2015 — which typically brought changes to the front-end panels including the grille. Always confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The 2006 and 2009 cars are both E63/E64 generation, but the E63/E64 received a facelift around 2007, which means a 2006 car is pre-facelift and a 2009 car is post-facelift. The facelift brought changes to front-end panels, so whether the grille from these two periods interchanges is not something we can state as fact — confirm directly with the breaker using both registrations before buying.
Within the E63/E64 generation, the E63 was the coupe and the E64 was the convertible, and within the F-series generation the F12 was the convertible and F13 the coupe. Because the grille sits on the front end rather than the roof or body structure, it is generally shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as there can always be minor production variations.
Trim level does not determine fitment in the mechanical sense — the grille mounting points are the same across trim levels within a given generation and facelift period. However, M Sport and standard Sport models often featured a different grille design, so if you source a grille from a different trim to your own car it may look visually different even if it physically fits. Confirm the style you want with the breaker and check it against your car's existing setup.
The 2013 and 2016 cars are both F-series generation (F06/F12/F13), but the F-series received a facelift around 2015, placing these two cars on opposite sides of that boundary. The grille and surrounding front-end panels typically change at a facelift, so whether these will interchange is something you need to confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume.
The Gran Coupe is the F06 four-door variant within the F-series generation, and because the grille is a front-end panel it is generally shared with the F12/F13 coupe and convertible within the same facelift period. That said, always quote your exact registration to the breaker so they can verify the part reference, as minor differences can exist between body variants.
Fitment guidance is general and mistakes can happen - vehicle specifications vary and manufacturers make mid-production changes. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the supplying breaker before buying.
