Fitment questions
Does the BMW i3 have a handbrake lever at all?
No – the BMW i3 does not have a traditional handbrake lever. All i3 models use an electronic parking brake (EPB) operated by a small switch on the centre console, so there is no mechanical handbrake lever to replace. If you are looking for the parking brake switch or the EPB actuator, those are the parts you need to search for instead.
I need the parking brake switch for my BMW i3 – what is it called and will any i3 switch fit mine?
The part you are looking for is the electronic parking brake switch, sometimes listed by breakers as the EPB switch or handbrake switch. The i3 ran from 2013 to 2022, with a facelift in 2017, and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether the switch design changed across that 2017 boundary before buying. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.
Does it matter which trim level my i3 is – will an EPB switch from a different trim fit?
The BMW i3 was offered in trim levels including the standard i3, i3s, and various range-extended (Rex) variants, but the electronic parking brake switch is not a trim-dependent part in the way that, say, seat upholstery would be. That said, confirm with the breaker that the switch matches your build, as minor interior revisions can occur across production years.
Will a pre-2017 i3 parking brake switch fit a post-2017 facelift i3?
The i3 received a facelift in 2017 which brought interior and exterior updates, and it is possible that small changes were made to the centre console layout or switch design across that boundary. We would not recommend assuming a pre-2017 switch is a straight swap into a post-2017 car – check the part number with your breaker against your registration before purchasing.
I've seen a listing for a BMW i3 handbrake lever – is that a genuine part?
It is very unlikely to be a genuine i3 part, as the i3 has never been fitted with a mechanical handbrake lever in any variant or market – the electronic parking brake switch is the equivalent component. The listing may be misdescribed, or it could be the EPB switch itself; contact the breaker to clarify exactly what they have before ordering.
