Fitment on a used headrest varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The E63 is the coupe and the E64 is the cabriolet, both produced from 2003 to 2010 and sharing the same generation platform, but the seat designs between the two body styles can differ, so a headrest from a coupe may not physically match a convertible seat. You should confirm the exact body style with the breaker when requesting a quote. Never assume coupe and cabriolet headrests interchange without checking.
Both fall within the E63/E64 generation, which ran from 2003 to 2010, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but BMW did introduce interior updates across the production run. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to be sure the seat and headrest design matches your car.
The F12 convertible, F13 coupe, and F06 Gran Coupe all belong to the second-generation 6 Series produced from 2011 to 2018, sharing the same platform, but the Gran Coupe is a four-door body style and its rear seat headrests in particular will be different from those in the two-door coupe or convertible. For front headrests there may be more commonality, but confirm the body style and specific seat position with the breaker before ordering.
Yes, trim level can matter on the BMW 6 Series because seat upholstery and headrest design can vary between specifications such as SE, Sport, M Sport, and Individual, which may use different seat shells or integrated headrest designs. When contacting a breaker, mention your trim level alongside your registration so they can match the correct seat style. A headrest from a different trim may fit physically but look noticeably different in terms of stitching, shape, or material.
For most headrests that simply plug into the seatback, left and right are interchangeable, but some 6 Series seats have side bolsters or integrated headrest designs that are specific to the driver's side (OS) or passenger's side (NS). Tell the breaker which seat position you need and confirm whether your headrest is a simple post-and-socket type or part of a more complex seat assembly to avoid ordering the wrong part.
A standard post-style headrest is straightforward to swap yourself, simply pulling out the old one and pushing in the replacement. However, if your 6 Series has seats with headrest-mounted airbags or other integrated safety systems, you should confirm with the breaker what type of headrest your car has before fitting, and seek professional installation in that case.
