Used BMW 7 Series Bonnet

The BMW 7 Series has run across several distinct generations: the E38 (1994–2001), E65/E66 (2001–2008), F01/F02 (2009–2015, facelift 2012), and G11/G12 (2015–2022, facelift 2019). The bonnet is specific to each generation, so you must match the generation first. Within a generation, the facelift can bring changes to the front-end styling, so the year of your car relative to the facelift boundary matters too.

Both a 2010 and a 2014 7 Series fall within the F01/F02 generation (2009–2015), but the facelift landed in 2012, meaning these two cars sit on opposite sides of that boundary. The bonnet panel itself may or may not interchange across the 2012 facelift — confirm this directly with the breaker quoting against your registration, as front-end geometry and shut-line tolerances can differ. Never assume pre- and post-facelift panels are a straight swap.

No — the bonnet is a front-end panel and is shared across wheelbase variants within the same generation, so whether you have the standard or long-wheelbase car makes no difference to bonnet fitment. Just match the generation and facelift period and you're looking at the right part.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the 7 Series — the panel is the same across SE, Sport, M Sport, and Individual specifications within the same generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that a used bonnet sourced from a different trim car may have a slightly different paint finish or factory preparation, but structurally it will be the same part. Your breaker can advise on surface condition and any badge holes if relevant.

The G11/G12 generation ran from 2015 to 2022 with a facelift in 2019 that updated the front-end styling. Both pre- and post-facelift cars are G11/G12, but whether the bonnet itself interchanges across that 2019 boundary is not something we can confirm as fact — check this with the breaker by providing your full registration, as they can cross-reference the exact panel codes. Do not assume a pre-2019 bonnet will be a straight fit on a post-2019 car or vice versa.

Engine choice — whether petrol, diesel, or hybrid — has no bearing on bonnet fitment for the 7 Series, as the front-end panel is shared across all engine variants within a generation and facelift period. Focus your search on getting the generation and facelift year right, and let the breaker confirm the part against your registration.
