BMW i3 Fog Light Replacement Parts

The standard BMW i3 did not come with front fog lights as standard equipment on most variants — the front bumper design on the i3 integrates distinctive trim pieces in the positions where fog lights might otherwise sit, but these are typically blanks or decorative inserts rather than functioning fog lights. Some i3 variants in certain markets or with specific optional packages may have had front fog lights fitted, but this was not a common UK fitment. Before searching for a used fog light, check your car's front bumper carefully and look at your original window sticker or BMW build records to confirm whether your specific vehicle actually has a fog light unit installed.

The BMW i3 received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front bumper and surrounding trim, so parts from a pre-facelift car (roughly 2013–2016) and a post-facelift car (2017 onwards) may not be directly interchangeable. Even setting aside whether your car has a fog light fitted at all, you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific unit they have matches your pre-facelift or post-facelift front end using your registration. Never assume cross-facelift fitment without that check.

The i3s has a wider body kit and different front bumper styling compared to the standard i3, so fog light apertures and any associated trim pieces may differ between the two. Trim level and body kit differences like this can affect whether a fog light assembly physically fits and looks correct, so confirm with the breaker which specific variant their part came from before buying. This is one case where the visual body differences between i3 and i3s do matter, unlike most situations where trim level can be ignored for fitment purposes.

No — the Rex range-extender engine is in the rear of the car and has no effect on the front-end panels or fog light fitment whatsoever. A fog light (if fitted) from a Rex car should be the same as one from a standard battery-electric i3, provided they are from the same facelift period. Focus your search on matching the facelift era rather than the drivetrain.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can look up your exact build spec, since the i3's fog light fitment varied by specification and market rather than following a simple rule. It is also worth confirming whether your car is a pre-2017 or 2017-onwards model, as the facelift front bumper changed and parts are unlikely to interchange across that boundary. If you are unsure whether your car even has a fog light unit or just a blank, mention this to the breaker and ask them to help you identify what you actually need.
