A buyer's guide to used BMW i5 suspension leg
No two suspension legs are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:

Fitment questions
Does the BMW i5 actually have a suspension leg?
Yes, the BMW i5 (G60 platform, launched 2023) uses MacPherson-style suspension legs at the front axle across all variants, including the eDrive40, xDrive40, and M60 xDrive, so the part genuinely exists on this model. The rear suspension uses a multi-link setup, so a suspension leg in the traditional sense is a front-end item on the i5. Make sure you specify front NS (nearside/left) or OS (offside/right) when requesting a quote from a breaker.
Will a suspension leg from a 2023 i5 fit a 2024 or 2025 i5?
The BMW i5 launched in 2023 on the G60 platform and, as of 2025, has not undergone a facelift, so parts from 2023 onward are generally from the same generation. That said, whether a specific used unit interchanges year-to-year across any minor running changes is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Does the trim level affect which suspension leg I need - for example, does an M60 i5 use the same part as an eDrive40?
Trim level alone does not affect suspension leg fitment, but the M60 xDrive is a significantly more powerful and heavier variant that may use a different front strut specification to cope with the additional load and power. Colour and interior trim make no difference whatsoever. Always provide the breaker with your full VIN or registration so they can check the exact part number for your variant.
Does it matter whether my i5 is eDrive40 rear-wheel drive or xDrive40 four-wheel drive when ordering a suspension leg?
It can matter, because xDrive variants carry additional front-axle hardware and the suspension may be calibrated differently to manage the extra weight of the front drive components compared to the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40. In practice the front strut body dimensions may be the same, but spring and damper rates can vary, so confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
Does the BMW i5 Touring use the same suspension leg as the i5 saloon?
The i5 is available as both a saloon and a Touring estate (both on the G60 platform), and the Touring's additional weight and load-carrying requirement may mean it uses different suspension specifications at the front. Treat saloon and Touring parts as potentially different and always give the breaker your registration or VIN to confirm the correct unit for your body style.
What should I tell a breaker when asking for a used BMW i5 suspension leg?
Give them your vehicle registration or full VIN, specify whether you need the nearside (NS, driver's left) or offside (OS, driver's right) front leg, and tell them your i5 variant (e.g. eDrive40, xDrive40, M60 xDrive) and body style (saloon or Touring). If your car has adaptive or sport suspension, mention that too and ask the breaker to confirm the part matches, as damper specifications can differ and that is not something that can be guaranteed from the outside.
