BMW i5 Fuel Tank Replacement Parts

The BMW i5 (G60) launched in the UK in 2023 and no facelift has been confirmed within that initial production run, so a 2023 and 2024 tank are likely to be the same part. That said, BMW occasionally makes running production changes to ancillary fittings and mounting brackets mid-cycle, so always confirm against your exact registration with the breaker before purchasing. Never assume fitment without that check.

The i5 (G60) shares its platform with the G60 petrol and plug-in hybrid 5 Series, but the i5 is a fully electric vehicle and does not carry a conventional liquid fuel tank — it uses a high-voltage battery pack instead. A petrol or hybrid fuel tank from a G60 5 Series is therefore not a relevant or compatible part for the i5. If you are sourcing a replacement tank for a G60 petrol or PHEV 5 Series, confirm the engine code with the breaker, as that is the most reliable matching detail.

Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the i5; the eDrive40 and M60 are both fully electric and differences between trims are cosmetic or performance-software related rather than structural changes to the drivetrain packaging. You may find cosmetically different underbody covers or trim pieces when fitting a used part from a different spec car, but the tank assembly itself is not trim-dependent. Confirm fitment details with the breaker using your registration to account for any mid-production changes.

The i5 is available in both saloon (G60) and Touring estate (G61) body styles in the UK, and the body style can affect underbody packaging, so a tank or battery enclosure component from a Touring may not directly interchange with a saloon. Always tell the breaker which body style your car is when requesting a quote, in addition to your registration number. Do not assume saloon and Touring parts are interchangeable without the breaker confirming it against your specific vehicle.

Without a confirmed facelift date for the G60 i5, it is not possible to state with certainty whether any production updates between 2023 and 2025 affect tank compatibility. BMW does make running changes to components including mounting points and ancillary connections, so a part from a later build date may or may not be a direct fit. Provide your full registration to the breaker so they can cross-reference the part number against your specific build date before you commit to a purchase.

Because the i5 is fully electric, what is commonly called the 'fuel tank' in this context refers to the high-voltage battery enclosure or associated underbody assembly — confirm with the breaker exactly which component you need. Your registration number is the most useful starting point, and asking the breaker to verify the part number against your VIN will help account for any mid-production running changes. Never rely on year alone; always have the breaker confirm fitment against your specific vehicle before purchase.
