BMW i5 Rear Panel Replacement Parts

The BMW i5 is a first-generation model launched in 2024, built on the G60 platform and available in saloon (G60) and Touring estate (G61) body styles — as the rear panel differs completely between these two body styles, you must make sure any part you source matches your exact body style. At the time of writing, no facelift or second generation has been announced, so all current UK i5s share the same generation. Always confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

No — the saloon (G60) and Touring estate (G61) have entirely different rear body pressings, so a rear panel from one body style will not fit the other. This is the first question to get right when sourcing a used rear panel: confirm your body style with the breaker before anything else. Engine variant or trim level makes no difference to fitment.

No, the engine or drivetrain variant does not affect rear panel fitment on the i5 — the panel is determined by the body style (saloon or Touring) and generation, not by whether you have an eDrive40 or M60 xDrive. However, higher trim or M Sport variants may carry different badging, sensors, or finishing details, so you may notice cosmetic differences between a panel pulled from a base car and one from an M60. Confirm with the breaker that any ancillary fittings match what you need.

Both model years sit within the same first-generation G60/G61 platform, so in principle the body structure should be consistent. That said, mid-generation pressing changes can occur without a formal facelift, and you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing. Never assume fitment purely on year without the breaker cross-referencing part numbers.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental rear panel fitment on the i5; the critical factors are body style (saloon or Touring) and generation. You may find that an M Sport-sourced panel has different cut-outs, sensor mounts, or surface finish compared with a standard trim panel, so flag any cosmetic differences you care about to the breaker when requesting a quote.

The i5 and the G60 5 Series do share the same platform generation, but whether body panels interchange between the conventionally powered G60 and the i5 variant is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration, as pressing or shut-line differences between same-platform variants sold under related names are not something we can state as fact here. A breaker familiar with the G60 range will be best placed to cross-reference part numbers for your specific car. Do not assume fitment on platform alone.
