Fitment questions
Will a wishbone from a 2014 BMW i3 fit my 2017 BMW i3?
The BMW i3 ran from 2013 through to 2022 with a facelift in 2017, so a 2014 car is pre-facelift and a 2017 car sits right on that boundary. The generation is the same throughout, but whether suspension geometry changed at the 2017 facelift point is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering. Never assume a part fits across a known facelift boundary without that check.
Does the BMW i3 REx wishbone fit the standard electric i3?
The i3 REx (range extender) and the standard battery-electric i3 share the same body shell and running gear layout, and the small two-cylinder range extender engine does not affect suspension geometry in the way a heavier conventional engine would. Trim and powertrain variant generally do not change wishbone fitment on the i3, so a like-for-like REx unit should cross-reference to the standard electric car. Confirm the specific part number with the breaker against both registrations to be certain.
Does it matter whether I buy the NS or OS wishbone for my BMW i3?
Yes, side absolutely matters — nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker which side you need and double-check it matches before the part is dispatched. Fitting the wrong side is a common and costly mistake.
Will a wishbone from an early 2013 i3 fit a 2020 i3?
The BMW i3 is a single-generation model produced from 2013 to 2022, with a facelift in 2017, so a 2013 car is early pre-facelift and a 2020 car is post-facelift. Whether the wishbone design changed across the 2017 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume they swap directly. Name both years and your registration when you contact the breaker so they can check part numbers accurately.
Does the trim level of my BMW i3 affect which wishbone I need — for example, does a Suite or Atelier spec change anything?
Trim levels such as Suite, Atelier, or Lodge on the BMW i3 relate to interior and cosmetic specifications and do not affect the suspension or wishbone fitment. Running gear on the i3 is consistent across trim grades, so you should not need a different part based on trim alone. Do bear in mind that a salvage car from a higher-spec trim may have different interior or body panels than yours, but the wishbone itself will be the same — confirm with the breaker against your registration as always.
How do I make sure a used BMW i3 wishbone from a breaker actually fits my car?
Give the breaker your full registration number so they can check the part against your exact vehicle — this is the most reliable way to confirm fitment on a used part. It is also worth knowing whether you need the nearside or offside unit before you call, as breakers will always ask. Year, facelift status, and side are the key details; trim and colour make no difference to whether the wishbone fits.
