Used fuse boxs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, the BMW i3 does have fuse boxes — typically one in the front compartment and one associated with the high-voltage battery system — despite being an electric vehicle with no traditional combustion engine. Because the i3's electrical architecture is quite different from a conventional BMW, the fuse boxes are specific to the EV platform rather than shared with petrol or diesel models. Always give the breaker your exact registration so they can confirm which unit you need.
BMW facelifted the i3 in 2017, and while the basic platform carried over, there were updates to the electrical systems that may affect fuse box compatibility across that boundary. You should not assume a pre-facelift fuse box will swap directly into a post-facelift car without checking. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
The REX variant added a small petrol engine to supplement the battery, which means its electrical system — and potentially the fuse box layout — differs from the pure BEV i3. If your car is a pure electric i3, a fuse box from a REX car may not be a straight swap, and vice versa. Always tell the breaker which variant you have so they can match the correct unit.
Trim level does not affect fuse box fitment on the BMW i3 — the fuse box is determined by the electrical platform, build year, and drivetrain variant (BEV or REX), not by specification level. You may find cosmetic or minor equipment differences between cars, but these won't change which fuse box is fitted. Focus on year, facelift status, and REX versus non-REX when sourcing from a breaker.
A 2015 i3 is a pre-facelift car, while a 2019 i3 sits firmly in the post-2017 facelifted range, meaning there is a generation boundary between them that may affect electrical compatibility. Whether the fuse box crosses that boundary successfully is not something that can be confirmed as a blanket rule. Ask the breaker to check both registrations against their parts data before committing to a purchase.
The best approach is to request quotes from specialist EV breakers or BMW dismantlers through a marketplace like Findapart, giving your exact registration number. Because the i3 is an electric vehicle with a specific electrical architecture, it is worth seeking out breakers who have experience with EV dismantling rather than general car breakers. Always confirm the donor car's year and REX or non-REX status matches yours before buying.
