Choosing the right used BMW i5 camshaft
Used camshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the BMW i5 have a camshaft?
No – the BMW i5 is a fully electric vehicle and has no internal combustion engine, so it does not have a camshaft, valvetrain, or any related engine components. Camshafts are only found in petrol or diesel engines, none of which are fitted to any variant of the i5. If you have arrived here searching for a camshaft, you may have the wrong model – the conventionally-engined BMW 5 Series (G60 petrol or diesel) does carry camshafts, and that is likely the vehicle you need parts for.
I searched for a BMW i5 camshaft – why are there no results?
Because the i5 is a pure electric car, it has no combustion engine and therefore no camshaft exists anywhere in the vehicle – there are no results because the part simply does not apply. If your car is a 5 Series rather than the i5 badge specifically, check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the exact model designation and engine code, then search for a BMW 5 Series G60 camshaft instead. A breaker will be able to match the correct camshaft to your engine code once you have that detail to hand.
Could the camshaft be listed under a different name for the BMW i5?
No – this is not a naming issue. The i5 has no combustion engine in any of its variants (eDrive40, M60 xDrive, or otherwise), so there is no component that performs the camshaft function or goes by an alternative name. The part you are searching for genuinely does not exist on this vehicle. If your car turns out to be a petrol or diesel 5 Series rather than an i5, supply your engine code to a breaker and they will identify the correct camshaft for you.
Does the BMW i5 M60 xDrive have a camshaft?
No – despite carrying an M performance badge, the i5 M60 xDrive is fully electric and uses dual electric motors rather than a combustion engine, so it has no camshaft. The M60 designation here refers to the electric motor output, not a petrol M engine. If you are looking for a camshaft from a petrol-engined BMW M5 or M-badged 5 Series, that is an entirely different vehicle and you should search accordingly with your engine code ready.
What part should I actually be looking for if I thought I needed a BMW i5 camshaft?
If your car is genuinely a BMW i5, the drivetrain components you might be sourcing include electric motors, inverters, reduction gearboxes, or high-voltage battery components – none of which are camshafts. If the vehicle in question is actually a combustion-engined BMW 5 Series G60 (for example a 520i or 530d), locate the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and search for a BMW 5 Series camshaft using that code. Providing your engine code to a breaker is the single most reliable way to ensure you are quoted the correct part.
