Second Hand BMW i4 Radiator

The BMW i4 (G26) launched in 2022 and is currently in its first generation with no major facelift boundary yet established, so radiators from any G26 i4 are broadly in the same production run. That said, minor ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a named facelift, so confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Never assume fitment without that check.

The eDrive40 and M50 use different electric drive units and cooling demands, so the radiator and associated cooling components are not necessarily interchangeable between these two variants. Trim level alone does not affect fitment, but the underlying powertrain does, so always quote your specific model variant to the breaker. Confirm the part number against your registration to be sure.

They share the G26 platform but the M50 has a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with higher thermal output, which means its cooling system is specced differently to the single-motor eDrive40. The badge and body are the same but the mechanical cooling requirements are not, so the powertrain is what drives fitment here, not the car's exterior. Give the breaker your exact model variant and registration so they can match the right part.

The i4 uses the G26 body but its cooling system is built around high-voltage battery and electric motor thermal management rather than an internal combustion engine, so the radiators are not the same as those from petrol or diesel G22/G26 models. Fuel type is a key fitment factor for this part, and the i4's all-electric powertrain puts it in a completely different category. Only source from a donor i4, not a combustion-engined 4 Series.

No — colour, interior trim, and options packs have no bearing on radiator fitment whatsoever. What matters is your exact powertrain variant (eDrive40 or M50) and model year, not how the car is dressed. You can safely ignore cosmetic differences when sourcing the part, but do confirm the powertrain details with the breaker against your registration.

Give them your full registration number, which lets them run a VIN check to confirm the exact powertrain variant and build date — this is more reliable than quoting the badge alone. It also helps to tell them whether your car is an eDrive40 or M50 and your model year, as cooling system specs can vary with the drive unit. The breaker can then check ancillary fittings and confirm the part is a genuine match before you commit.
