Used BMW 7 Series Wheel Hub

The BMW 7 Series runs in well-established generations: E38 (1994–2001), E65/E66 (2001–2008), F01/F02 (2008–2015), and G11/G12 (2015–2022). Wheel hubs are generation-specific, so a hub from one generation will not cross over to another. Always match the generation first, then check engine size with your breaker, as larger-engined variants within a generation can carry different brake and hub assemblies.

2007 sits in the E65/E66 generation (2001–2008), while 2009 falls in the F01/F02 generation (2008–2015) — these are completely different platforms, so the hubs are not interchangeable. Even though the years are close, the generation boundary sits squarely between them. Source a hub confirmed to your exact generation and confirm the match against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Trim level alone does not affect wheel hub fitment on the BMW 7 Series — a hub from a SE car and one from an M Sport car of the same generation and engine size are the same structural part. The M Sport badge brings cosmetic and suspension tuning differences rather than a different hub, so you won't need to restrict your search by trim. That said, confirm with the breaker that the hub comes from a car of matching generation and comparable engine size, since braking hardware can scale with engine output across the range.

Yes, it can — within a generation, larger-engined 7 Series variants (such as the 750i or 760i) are more likely to be fitted with bigger brake assemblies than smaller-engined models like the 730d, and the hub must be compatible with the brake components on your car. Running gear on a heavy, powerful saloon tends to scale with the drivetrain, so don't assume all hubs within a generation are identical. Check your engine size with the breaker and confirm against your registration plate to make sure the hub and its associated bearing and brake interface will match.

On the BMW 7 Series, front wheel hubs are typically handed — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) can differ due to steering and suspension geometry, so you should always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Rear hubs may be common across both sides on some variants, but it is safest to confirm with the breaker rather than assume. Always quote your registration and the side required to avoid getting the wrong part.

The E65/E66 generation received a facelift in 2005, after which certain running-gear components were revised on some variants. While the generation name is shared across 2001–2008, whether a specific hub crosses that 2005 boundary depends on the exact variant and engine — this is not something we can state with certainty as fact. Confirm with the breaker, providing your registration and the donor car's year and engine, so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit.
