BMW 7 Series Bumper Replacement Parts

The BMW 7 Series has run through several well-established generations: E38 (1994–2001), E65/E66 (2001–2008), F01/F02 (2008–2015), and G11/G12 (2015–2022). The generation is the most important thing to get right when sourcing a used bumper, as the front-end panels are completely different between generations. Always quote your full registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact match.

Both a 2010 and a 2014 7 Series fall within the F01/F02 generation (2008–2015), however this generation received a facelift in 2012 which changed the bumper, grille and light surrounds. A pre-facelift bumper (2008–2012) and a post-facelift bumper (2012–2015) are unlikely to interchange directly, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific part they have matches your side of that 2012 boundary before buying.

No — the front bumper is shared across standard and long-wheelbase variants within the same generation and facelift period, so wheelbase does not affect fitment. Give the breaker your registration and confirm the generation and facelift period match; the body length is not a concern for front-end panels.

The generation and facelift period are what drive fitment, not the trim level, so a bumper from an SE and an M Sport within the same facelift period will generally correspond to the same mounting points. However, M Sport models typically feature a different bumper styling with a more aggressive lower apron compared with the SE, so a direct swap may look mismatched even if it bolts on — worth clarifying the exact part number with the breaker if appearance matters to you.

The E65 and E66 are the same generation (2001–2008), with the E66 simply being the long-wheelbase variant, so the front bumper is shared between them and fitment should not be an issue. As with any used part, confirm the facelift period matches your car — this generation was facelifted in 2005, which updated the front-end styling — and ask the breaker to verify against your registration.

The E65 generation ran from 2001 to 2008 with a facelift in 2005 that revised the bumper, grille and headlight design, so a pre-facelift (2001–2005) bumper and a post-facelift (2005–2008) bumper sit either side of a styling boundary. Whether a specific pre-facelift bumper will physically interchange onto a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel and lamp fitment details across that boundary can vary.
