What to check when buying a used BMW i3 inlet manifold
A used inlet manifold that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the BMW i3 have an inlet manifold?
No – the BMW i3 is a fully electric vehicle (BEV) in its standard form and uses an electric motor rather than a combustion engine, so it has no inlet manifold, no air intake system, and no related ancillaries whatsoever. The range-extender variant (the i3 REx) does carry a small two-cylinder petrol engine, but this is a sealed, self-contained unit and does not use a conventional inlet manifold in the way a standard combustion engine does. If you are searching for an inlet manifold and believe your car is a BMW i3, it is worth double-checking your vehicle – you may have a different BMW model, or there may be a mix-up with the registration. A UK breaker who specialises in BMW can help you identify the correct part if you supply your full registration or VIN.
I have a BMW i3 REx – does that have an inlet manifold I can replace?
The i3 REx carries a small Rotax-derived two-cylinder petrol range-extender engine, but it is not designed to be serviced or repaired in the conventional sense – BMW intended it as a sealed auxiliary unit, and inlet manifold assemblies for it are not a standard used-parts trade item in UK breakers' yards. If you are experiencing a fault related to air delivery or fuelling on an i3 REx, you would be best speaking directly to a BMW specialist or an independent EV specialist, as the repair pathway is very different from a conventional combustion engine. Findapart and UK dismantlers are unlikely to be the right source for this component.
Could I be confusing the BMW i3 with another BMW model that does have an inlet manifold?
Yes, this is a common mix-up – if your car has a combustion engine and you are looking for an inlet manifold, you may have a BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, or another petrol or diesel BMW rather than an i3. The engine code on your V5 logbook or from a VIN check is the single most reliable detail to confirm what you actually have, and supplying that code to a breaker will get you an accurate match far more quickly than using the model name alone. If you can share your registration with a breaker on Findapart, they can confirm the exact engine and whether an inlet manifold is the right part for your vehicle.
Does trim level affect whether a BMW i3 has an inlet manifold?
No – trim level makes no difference here, because no trim level of the standard BMW i3 (whether base, Range Plus, Loft, Lodge, Suite, or any other UK specification) ever had a combustion engine or an inlet manifold. The i3 is electric across all trim grades, so this is a drivetrain question rather than a trim question. If you are sourcing a combustion engine part for a different BMW, your engine code is what matters to a breaker, not the trim name.
