Fitment on a used window motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the E38 (1994–2001) and E65 (2001–2008) are completely different generations with different door structures, so their window motors are not interchangeable. You must source a motor matched to your specific generation. Confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The E65 ran from 2001 to 2008 and received a facelift in 2005, which can affect trim panels and associated components, so it is worth checking whether the motor from a pre-facelift car crosses over to a post-facelift one. Always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when requesting a quote, as these are door-specific parts. Confirm compatibility against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Yes, this matters a great deal — window motors are door-specific, so a nearside (NS, passenger side) motor will not fit an offside (OS, driver side) door and vice versa. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need when requesting a quote. Getting this wrong is one of the most common fitment mistakes with window components.
No, the engine variant makes no difference to window motor fitment on the 7 Series — the door structure and regulator mechanism are the same regardless of whether the car is a diesel or petrol. What matters is the generation and which door (front or rear, NS or OS) the motor came from. Confirm the exact door position with the breaker against your registration.
Trim level does not affect window motor fitment on the 7 Series — the door aperture and regulator design are the same across SE, Sport, M Sport and other trim variants within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences in surrounding door furniture, but the motor itself will interchange. As always, confirm the generation, door position, and your registration with the breaker to be certain.
No — the F01 (2008–2015) and G11 (2015–2022) are separate generations with distinct door designs, and their window motors are not directly interchangeable. Always source a motor from the correct generation for your car. Confirm the exact match with the breaker using your registration before purchasing.
