Fitment questions
Does the BMW i3 have a clutch slave cylinder?
No — the BMW i3 does not have a clutch slave cylinder, and never did on any variant. Every i3 uses either a single-speed automatic reduction gearbox paired with its electric motor, or in the case of the Range Extender (REX) model, a small petrol engine that drives a generator rather than the wheels directly, so there is no manual clutch system of any kind. If you are searching for this part, it is likely either a mistake on the listing or you may be thinking of a different vehicle entirely.
What about the BMW i3 REX — does the range extender engine have a clutch or slave cylinder?
No — the REX petrol engine in the i3 Range Extender is a two-cylinder unit used solely to generate electricity and recharge the battery; it does not drive the wheels and is not connected to a manual gearbox. Because there is no clutch in the drivetrain at all, there is no clutch slave cylinder on any REX variant either. If you are having issues with the REX drivetrain, the components to look for would be related to the generator or high-voltage system, not a clutch.
Could a clutch slave cylinder from another BMW fit the i3?
There is no application for a clutch slave cylinder on the i3, so no such fitment exists regardless of the donor vehicle. The i3's single-speed electric drivetrain simply has no mechanical clutch for a slave cylinder to operate. If you have been quoted this part for your i3, it is worth double-checking the part description with the breaker, as there may be a mix-up with the part name or the vehicle.
I have a 2014–2017 pre-facelift i3 — does it need a different clutch slave cylinder to a 2017–2022 facelift model?
Neither the pre-facelift i3 (2013–2017) nor the facelifted i3 (2017–2022) ever used a clutch slave cylinder, so this question does not apply to any version of the car. The drivetrain across all i3 generations is purely electric with a single-speed automatic gearbox, which requires no clutch mechanism. If you are looking for a driveline component for your i3, contact a breaker and describe your exact fault — they can advise on the correct electric drivetrain part for your registration.
What part might I actually need if I thought I needed a clutch slave cylinder on my BMW i3?
On a conventional manual car the clutch slave cylinder is part of the gear-change mechanism, so if you are experiencing difficulty selecting gears or the car not driving as expected, on an i3 the relevant components would be the single-speed reduction gearbox, drive unit, or associated electric motor parts. For brake-related hydraulic issues you may be thinking of a brake caliper, wheel cylinder, or ABS component instead. A BMW i3 specialist breaker will be best placed to help you identify the correct part once you describe the symptom and supply your registration number.
