Used BMW i4 Front Bumper

The BMW i4 launched in 2021 and is currently in its first generation, built on the CLAR platform and sold as a four-door Gran Coupé. A facelift was introduced for the 2024 model year, bringing revised front-end styling including updated bumpers, grille surrounds and light signatures. This facelift boundary is the key question when sourcing a used front bumper, so always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm which version your car has.

The 2022 car is pre-facelift and the 2024 model sits on the facelifted side of the 2024 boundary, meaning the front-end styling changed between those two cars. The generation and platform are the same, but whether the pre-facelift bumper physically interchanges with the post-facelift one is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel and mounting designs often differ at a facelift. Do not assume they swap over without checking.

Trim level does not determine fitment in the way that facelift period does, so an eDrive40 and M50 sourced from the same facelift period share the same underlying platform. However, the M50 carries M Sport or full M bumper styling with different lower aprons, splitters and air intake designs, so a bumper pulled from a standard eDrive40 will look noticeably different on an M50 and vice versa. Tell the breaker both your trim level and your registration to make sure the cosmetic styling matches, not just the mounting points.

The BMW i4 is offered exclusively as a four-door Gran Coupé, so there is no body-style variation to worry about within this model. Front-end panels are shared across the range within a given facelift period, meaning wheelbase or roofline differences are not a factor here. The facelift year remains the primary fitment question, so confirm that with your breaker.

Both a 2021 and a 2023 car fall within the pre-facelift period of the first-generation i4, so they share the same front-end generation and are worth exploring. That said, always ask the breaker to cross-reference the part against your specific registration, as production changes within a generation can occasionally affect panel fitments or sensor mounting points. A reputable breaker will check their system before confirming the sale.

The bumper shell itself is generally shared across headlight variants within a generation, but how the bumper integrates with the light units, washers and camera systems can vary. Whether a bumper from a different headlight variant will fit your car cleanly is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. This is especially worth checking if the car you are buying from had optional or higher-specification lighting fitted.
