Used BMW i5 Central Locking Motor

Yes, the BMW i5 (G60 platform, launched 2023) uses electrically operated central locking across all variants, and central locking motors or actuators are fitted to each door and the boot as part of that system. These are standard components regardless of whether the car is the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 or the all-wheel-drive xDrive50 or M60. If you're searching for a replacement, look for listings described as a door lock actuator or central locking actuator, as breakers may use either term.

The BMW i5 launched in 2023 and, as a relatively new model with no facelift yet established at time of writing, cars from 2023 onwards are all G60 generation and are likely to share the same door lock actuator design. That said, production updates can be introduced quietly mid-run, so confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying. Never assume fitment without that check.

Trim level does not affect central locking motor fitment on the BMW i5 — the door lock actuator is a mechanical and electrical component that is the same across trims including eDrive40, xDrive50, and M60 variants. You may find cosmetic differences in the door cards or interior panels surrounding the lock mechanism, but the actuator unit itself is not trim-specific. Confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

No, the drivetrain variant — whether rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 or all-wheel-drive xDrive50 — does not affect which central locking motor is fitted, as this part is common across the body and door structure regardless of what powers the wheels. The key variables are which door the actuator is from (NS front, OS front, NS rear, OS rear, or boot) and the G60 generation. Always tell the breaker which door position you need and quote your registration so they can verify the correct unit.

The BMW i5 shares the G60 platform with the internal combustion 5 Series (also G60, launched 2023 as the i5's direct sibling), and it is plausible that door lock actuators are common across both given the shared bodyshell. However, whether the part is genuinely interchangeable should be confirmed with the breaker against both registrations, as subtle production differences can exist even on shared platforms. A good breaker will cross-reference the part numbers to give you a definitive answer.

NS (nearside) refers to the passenger side of the car — the left when sitting in the driver's seat — and OS (offside) is the driver's side, which is the right in a UK right-hand-drive vehicle. You also need to specify front or rear, and whether it's the boot lock actuator if that's the one that has failed. When contacting a breaker through Findapart, give them your registration, the door position, and a description of the fault so they can pull the correct unit.
