What to check when buying a used BMW i3 seat
A used seat 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 a front or rear seat
- State whether you need cloth or leather

Fitment questions
Will a seat from a 2014 BMW i3 fit my 2018 BMW i3?
The BMW i3 ran as a single generation from 2013, with a facelift arriving in 2017, so a 2014 seat and a 2018 seat sit either side of that facelift boundary. The facelift brought interior updates that may affect trim and seat style, so whether a pre-facelift seat crosses into a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Does the BMW i3 come in different body styles that affect seat fitment?
The BMW i3 was sold in the UK exclusively as a four-door hatchback throughout its production run, so body style is not a variable you need to worry about when sourcing a seat. Focus instead on generation (pre- or post-2017 facelift), trim level, and which side of the car you need.
Do I need to tell the breaker which side the seat is from?
Yes — driver's side (OS, offside) and passenger's side (NS, nearside) seats are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when requesting a quote. In the UK the driver sits on the right, so the OS is the right-hand side of the car.
Does trim level affect which BMW i3 seat I need?
Yes, trim level matters for the i3 — the standard Range, Suite, and other trim grades offered different seat upholstery and styles, and seats are not necessarily interchangeable between trims even within the same model year. When sourcing a used seat, tell the breaker your exact trim so they can match the seat style; fitting a seat from a different trim will still physically bolt in but may look noticeably different to the remaining seats in your car.
Are there any safety concerns with fitting a used BMW i3 seat?
Yes — BMW i3 seats may contain side-impact airbags and seat-belt pretensioners, both of which are safety-critical and single-use once deployed, so you must not fit a seat that has been in a collision where these were activated. We strongly recommend having a used seat fitted by a qualified professional who can verify the airbag module is compatible with your car's specific SRS system; confirm pretensioner variant compatibility with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
Will a BMW i3 seat from any year before the facelift fit my pre-facelift car?
The pre-facelift BMW i3 ran from 2013 to 2016, and seats from within this period are more likely to be compatible with one another, provided the trim level and side match. However, fitment can still vary between model years due to minor specification changes, so always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before committing to a purchase.
