BMW 6 Series Steering Column Replacement Parts

The E63 coupe and E64 convertible share the same generation (2003–2010) and the same basic steering column assembly, so there is a strong chance of compatibility. However, the convertible body structure differs from the coupe, and some column mounting or trim interfaces may vary, so confirm the exact part numbers with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

The E63/E64 generation ran from 2003 to 2010 with a facelift arriving around 2007, and the core steering column is generally considered the same across both phases of this generation. That said, whether a specific column from before or after the 2007 facelift crosses that boundary without modification is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as connector or column switch details can differ.

For the 6 Series, the steering column itself is not typically engine-size dependent — the same column assembly is generally used across the petrol and diesel variants within a generation. You should still quote your full registration to the breaker so they can verify the exact spec, but engine size is unlikely to be the deciding factor here.

Trim level does not generally affect steering column fitment on the BMW 6 Series — the column assembly is not changed between trim specifications. Bear in mind that column-mounted switches, stalks, or trim shrouds may look slightly different depending on options fitted to the donor car, so check what is included with the column when you get your quote from the breaker.

The F12 convertible, F13 coupe, and F06 Gran Coupe all share the same generation (2011–2018) and are closely related platforms, making the steering column likely compatible across these body styles. Because mounting points and electronic connections can still vary between body styles even within a shared generation, you should confirm compatibility with the breaker using both the donor and recipient registrations before purchasing.

The E63/E64 generation (2003–2010) and the F12/F13/F06 generation (2011–2018) are entirely different platforms with different column designs, mounting arrangements, and electronic systems, so these columns are not interchangeable. You need a column from the correct generation — quote your registration to the breaker and they will source from the right donor car.
