The BMW i3 was produced from 2013 onwards, with a significant facelift in 2017 that updated various interior and electrical components including the steering column area. If both cars are from the same pre- or post-facelift generation the stalk is very likely to be the same part, but if you are crossing that 2017 boundary you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Trim level does not affect indicator stalk fitment on the BMW i3 — the stalk is determined by the build year and generation, not whether the car is a standard, Range Extender, or S edition. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the stalk finish depending on the interior specification of the donor car, but the underlying part and its electrical function should be the same. Confirm the part number with the breaker if you want a cosmetically identical match.
The i3s was introduced in 2017 as a sportier variant but shares the same basic interior architecture and steering column setup as the standard i3 of the same generation. Trim level and performance variant do not drive indicator stalk fitment, so a stalk from a same-generation i3 should correspond to the i3s. Confirm the specific part number with the breaker against both registrations to be certain.
The 2016 i3 is pre-facelift and the 2018 is post-facelift, which means these two cars sit on opposite sides of the 2017 model update. Because the facelift revised interior components, crossing that boundary introduces real uncertainty and you should ask the breaker to check both registrations and compare part numbers before committing to the purchase.
No — the engine or range extender configuration has no bearing on indicator stalk fitment, as the stalk is part of the steering column assembly and is unaffected by what is under the bonnet. Focus on matching the build year and generation rather than the powertrain of the donor car.
Give the breaker your full registration number so they can look up the exact build date and specification, which matters more than the model year alone given the 2017 facelift. It is also worth asking them to compare the OEM part number on the stalk from their donor car against the one currently fitted to your i3. This is the most reliable way to avoid buying a stalk that looks similar but does not connect or function correctly.
