Second Hand BMW i4 Wing Mirror

The BMW i4 (G26) launched in 2021 and remains in production, with a facelift introduced for the 2024 model year that brought styling updates including changes to the exterior trim. If you are looking at a mirror from a pre-2024 car for a 2024 or later i4 (or vice versa), name that boundary to the breaker and ask them to confirm the part matches your exact registration before buying. The frame and mounting points are what determine fitment, not the colour or finish.

The 2024 model year marks the i4 facelift, so there is a known design boundary between pre-2024 and 2024-onwards cars. Parts from either side of that boundary may not be a straight swap, so confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming year-to-year compatibility. Never assume a mirror fits based on year alone without the breaker checking the part against your reg.

Trim level does not affect wing mirror fitment on the BMW i4 - the mounting points and door structure are the same across eDrive40 and M50 variants. You may find cosmetic differences between mirrors sourced from different trims, such as a different cap colour or finish, but these do not affect whether the mirror fits your car. Features like heating, folding, or indicators should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration, as these can vary regardless of trim.

Yes, side is critical - a nearside (NS, passenger/left) mirror is not interchangeable with an offside (OS, driver/right) mirror, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. UK convention is NS for the left/passenger side and OS for the right/driver side. Getting this wrong means the mirror simply will not mount correctly.

Year, side (NS or OS), and your vehicle registration are the most important details to give a breaker. You should also let them know whether your car is pre-facelift or the 2024-onwards facelift model, as this is a known boundary where parts may differ. Additionally, confirm with the breaker which features your original mirror has - such as electric folding, heated glass, or an indicator - as these variants can affect which second-hand unit is suitable for your car.

Colour is a preference, not a fitment issue - any wing mirror in the correct generation, side, and body style will fit regardless of what colour it comes in, since the housing can be resprayed or wrapped to match your car. Breakers will often supply mirrors in whatever colour the donor car was, so do not let a mismatched colour put you off an otherwise correct part. Focus your questions to the breaker on generation, side, and feature compatibility rather than colour.
