BMW i3 EGR Valve Replacement Parts

No — the BMW i3 is a fully electric vehicle (BEV) and, in its range-extender (REX) variant, uses a tiny two-cylinder petrol engine solely to generate electricity, but neither drivetrain layout uses a conventional combustion system that requires an EGR valve. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves are emissions-control components fitted to petrol and diesel engines that rely on recirculating exhaust gases to reduce NOx — a process that simply does not apply to the i3's electric drivetrain or its small REX generator. If you believe your i3 has an emissions-related fault, the issue is more likely with the REX engine's exhaust, catalytic converter, or associated sensors, and a BMW specialist or breaker who knows the REX system would be the right starting point.

Almost certainly yes — no variant of the BMW i3 (I01 generation, 2013 onwards) was ever fitted with an EGR valve, as the car is either pure electric or a range-extender whose small petrol generator does not use EGR technology. It is possible the fault code or part description has been misread, or the part was looked up against the wrong vehicle. We would strongly recommend double-checking the fault code with a BMW-trained technician and confirming the actual part needed before ordering anything from a breaker.

The BMW i3 (internally coded I01) was produced from 2013 through to 2022, with a facelift introduced in 2017 that brought styling updates and revised battery options. For most electrical and drivetrain components there can be differences between pre-facelift (2013–2017) and post-facelift (2017–2022) cars, so always quote your full registration to the breaker so they can identify the correct spec. However, as noted above, an EGR valve does not exist on any i3 variant, so generation boundaries are not relevant to this particular part.

The i3s, introduced in 2017 alongside the facelift, differs from the standard i3 mainly in its wider bodywork, sportier suspension, and uprated motor output — but both remain electric vehicles with no EGR valve fitted to either variant. Trim level and the i3 versus i3s distinction therefore makes no difference here, because the part in question does not exist on the car at all. If you have an emissions-related warning or fault, confirm with your breaker exactly which component is involved, as it is more likely to relate to the REX exhaust system or an on-board sensor rather than an EGR valve.

No — the i3 REX's small two-cylinder generator engine was not designed with an EGR system, so there is no compatible application from any other BMW or MINI model that would fit or be appropriate. Fitting a part that was never specified for the vehicle would serve no purpose and would not resolve any fault. If you are chasing an emissions fault on a REX model, speak directly to a breaker familiar with the i3 REX and give them your full registration, as the correct part will be specific to that unusual little engine.
