Choosing the right used BMW i3 wiper motor
Used wiper motors 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:
- State whether it's front or rear
- State hatchback or estate if it's for the rear

Fitment questions
Will a wiper motor from a pre-facelift BMW i3 fit a facelift model?
The BMW i3 was produced from 2013 and received a facelift in 2017, so there is a clear generation boundary between the pre-facelift (2013–2017) and facelift (2017 onwards) cars. Whether the wiper motor crosses that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as internal motor specifications or mounting arrangements can change at a facelift. Always give the breaker your full reg so they can match against the exact build.
Does the wiper motor from a 2014 BMW i3 fit a 2016 BMW i3?
Both the 2014 and 2016 i3 sit within the pre-facelift generation (2013–2017), so the wiper motor is very likely to be a match. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as production changes can occasionally occur mid-generation without a formal facelift. This is one of the simpler cross-year checks for this model.
Does it matter whether I buy the front or rear wiper motor for my BMW i3?
Yes — front and rear wiper motors are completely different units with different mounting points, connector types, and drive mechanisms, so you must specify which one you need when contacting the breaker. Make sure you state front or rear clearly alongside your registration to avoid being sent the wrong part.
Does the trim level affect which wiper motor I need for my BMW i3?
No — trim level does not affect wiper motor fitment on the BMW i3, so whether your car is an entry-level, Range, Lodge, Suite, or any other trim, the relevant factor is the generation (pre-facelift 2013–2017 or facelift 2017 onwards) and whether you need a front or rear motor. You may find cosmetic differences on a part pulled from a different trim, such as washer jet covers or surrounds, but the motor itself is what matters for function. Always confirm with the breaker using your registration to be sure.
Will a BMW i3 wiper motor from a 2019 car fit my 2015 i3?
This crosses the 2017 facelift boundary, with the 2019 car being a facelift model and the 2015 being pre-facelift, so fitment is not guaranteed. You should route this question directly to the breaker and confirm against both registrations, as mounting points or electrical connections may differ across that boundary. Do not assume the two generations share the same motor without that check.
Does the BMW i3s have a different wiper motor to the standard i3?
The i3s shares the same basic body structure as the standard i3, and trim or performance variant does not affect wiper motor fitment as a rule. The relevant factors remain the generation (pre-facelift 2013–2017 or facelift 2017 onwards) and front versus rear. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to make absolutely sure, but trim difference alone should not be a barrier here.
