Second Hand BMW i4 Rear View Mirror

Yes, all BMW i4 variants are fitted with an interior rear view mirror as standard — the i4 is a fully electric four-door Gran Coupé and has a conventional glazed rear window, so a traditional interior mirror is present on every trim level. Some higher-spec variants may feature an auto-dimming mirror, so the exact specification can vary. When sourcing a used replacement, make sure the breaker can confirm the mirror matches your specific trim and any auto-dimming or camera-integrated functionality your car has.

The BMW i4 launched in 2021 and at the time of writing remains in its first generation, with a mid-cycle update (facelift) introduced for the 2024 model year that brought interior and technology revisions. Mirrors either side of that 2024 boundary may differ, particularly if your car has an integrated digital rear view camera display, which became more prominent on updated models. Name the boundary to the breaker and ask them to check the part against your exact registration before purchasing.

Trim level can affect the rear view mirror specification on the BMW i4, as higher trims such as the M50 may be more likely to feature an auto-dimming mirror or an integrated camera display compared to entry-level eDrive40 cars, though base specification can vary by options too. The physical mounting and base are broadly consistent across the range, but electronic connections for auto-dimming or camera functions will only work if your car supports them. Check with the breaker that the mirror from the donor vehicle matches both your trim and any optional extras fitted to your specific car.

No — the engine or battery variant (for example eDrive35, eDrive40, or xDrive50) does not affect rear view mirror fitment on the BMW i4, as this is an interior part matched by generation and trim rather than drivetrain. You can safely disregard the powertrain of the donor vehicle when asking a breaker for a mirror. Focus instead on the model year relative to the 2024 facelift and the trim level to make sure any electronic functions match your car.

Yes, if your original mirror is auto-dimming you should source a direct like-for-like replacement, as a standard non-dimming mirror will fit physically but will not connect to the auto-dimming wiring in your car. Conversely, fitting an auto-dimming mirror to a car not wired for it will leave the dimming function inactive. Tell the breaker whether your mirror is auto-dimming and, if it has an integrated camera or display function, confirm those details too so they can match the part correctly against your registration.

When contacting a breaker, tell them your exact registration (which tells them the model year and whether it pre-dates or post-dates the 2024 facelift), your trim level (for example eDrive40, M Sport, or M50), and whether your existing mirror has auto-dimming or any integrated display. You do not need to mention whether your car is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as that does not affect this part. The more detail you give about the mirror's features, the better the chance of the breaker finding a compatible unit from their stock.
