No two seats are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The F06/F12/F13 generation of the BMW 6 Series ran from 2011 to 2018, so a 2012 seat and a 2016 seat are both from the same generation and are likely compatible in principle. However, you should confirm with the breaker that the trim level and body style match, and that the side (NS or OS) is correct, as seat design can vary across the range. Never rely on year alone to guarantee fitment.
Yes, generation is one of the most important factors for seat fitment. The E63/E64 generation covered 2003 to 2010, and the F06/F12/F13 generation ran from 2011 to 2018, so seats are not expected to interchange across that boundary without modification. If your car sits near the 2010–2011 changeover, confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
Yes, trim level matters for the 6 Series because seat style and upholstery can vary significantly between specifications such as SE, Sport, M Sport, and Individual. A seat from a different trim may physically fit but will likely look noticeably different from your other seats, so it is worth requesting a seat from a matching trim where possible. Ask the breaker to confirm the trim and upholstery type matches yours.
Many BMW 6 Series seats contain side-impact airbag modules built into the seat bolster, which makes them safety-critical components. Airbags and pretensioner seat belts are single-use items and cannot be reused after deployment, so always confirm with the breaker that neither has been triggered. Professional fitting is strongly recommended for any seat containing an airbag or pretensioner, and you should confirm airbag module compatibility with your car's specific SRS system with the breaker against your registration.
No, the engine makes no difference to seat fitment on the 6 Series. What matters is the generation, body style, trim level, and whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger) or offside (OS, driver) seat. Focus on matching those details when getting quotes from breakers.
The Gran Coupé (F06) and the two-door Coupé (F13) are both part of the same F-series generation running from 2011 to 2018, but they are different body styles and the rear seats in particular are unlikely to be directly interchangeable. Front seat compatibility is more plausible but should still be confirmed with the breaker against both vehicles' registrations, as subtle differences in mounting and trim can exist between body styles.
