BMW i5 Centre Console Replacement Parts

Yes, the BMW i5 (G60 generation, launched in the UK in 2023) has a centre console as standard across all variants, including the eDrive40, xDrive40, and M60 xDrive. As an all-electric model, the i5 has no transmission tunnel in the traditional sense, but BMW retained a prominent floating-style centre console housing storage, cupholders, and the iDrive controller. This means a centre console genuinely exists and used examples are available from breakers.

The BMW i5 (G60) launched in 2023 and, as of the current production run, remains within the same first generation without a facelift, so consoles from 2023 onward are generally from the same design. That said, minor production changes can occur mid-cycle, so confirm the exact part numbers with the breaker against your registration to be sure. Never assume fitment without checking.

Trim level can affect the finish and features of the centre console — for example, higher trims such as the M Sport or M60 xDrive may feature different upholstery, stitching, or trim materials compared to the standard eDrive40 specification. The underlying shape and mounting points are broadly consistent across the G60 generation, but a console from a different trim may look noticeably different inside your car. Always confirm the specific trim the breaker's part came from so you can match the interior style you expect.

For the centre console itself, the electric drivetrain variant (eDrive40 rear-wheel drive versus xDrive40 or M60 all-wheel drive) does not affect fitment, as there is no propshaft tunnel or gearbox housing to accommodate. The console design is driven by generation and trim rather than powertrain, so the same part should serve all three. Confirm the trim finish matches what you want cosmetically, and verify with the breaker using your registration.

The BMW i5 and the current G60 petrol and diesel 5 Series share the same generation platform and a very similar interior architecture, and the centre consoles are closely related. However, there can be differences in specific controls, wireless charging pad specifications, or trim details between the pure electric i5 and the combustion-engined variants. This is worth raising directly with the breaker, who can compare part numbers against both registrations before supplying.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the G60 generation and build date, and tell them your trim level (for example, eDrive40 M Sport or M60 xDrive) so the finish and materials can be matched. Mention which specific section you need if it is just part of the console — such as the storage armrest lid, the gear selector surround, or the full assembly — as breakers often have individual sections rather than the complete unit. Providing these details upfront will get you an accurate quote and reduce the risk of receiving a part that does not match your interior.
