Fitment questions
Do BMW i7 CV joints exist, or is it a different type of drivetrain?
Yes, CV joints do exist on the BMW i7 — despite being an electric vehicle, the i7 uses conventional CV joint driveshafts to transfer drive from its electric motors to the wheels, just as a petrol or diesel car would. The i7 is available in rear-wheel-drive (eDrive50) and four-wheel-drive (xDrive60 and M70) variants, and all of these use CV joints at the driven axles. This means CV joints are a genuine, searchable used part for this model.
The BMW i7 — what generation is it, and does the year of the car affect which CV joint fits?
The BMW i7 (G70) launched in 2022 and represents the first generation of this model, so at the time of writing all UK i7s on the road fall within that single generation. Within that generation, CV joint fitment can vary depending on whether your car is the eDrive50 (rear-wheel drive) or xDrive60/M70 (four-wheel drive), because the xDrive and M70 variants have front driveshafts in addition to the rear ones. Always confirm the drivetrain variant and which axle (front or rear, NS or OS) you need when speaking to a breaker.
Will a CV joint from an xDrive60 i7 fit my eDrive50 i7?
Almost certainly not on a like-for-like basis, because the eDrive50 is rear-wheel drive only and does not have front driveshafts at all, whereas the xDrive60 has both front and rear CV joints. Even for the rear axle, the driveshafts may differ between the two variants due to differences in motor output and torque handling, so you should not assume rear-axle CV joints interchange across these two drivetrain types. Confirm the exact drivetrain variant and registration with the breaker before ordering.
Does it matter whether I buy the NS or OS CV joint for my BMW i7?
Yes, it matters — NS (nearside, left-hand side) and OS (offside, right-hand side) CV joints on the i7 are not always identical, and lengths can differ between the two sides depending on axle and drivetrain layout. When contacting a breaker, always specify which side you need, whether it is a front or rear joint, and whether your car is rear-wheel drive (eDrive50) or four-wheel drive (xDrive60 or M70). Getting this wrong is a common and avoidable mistake.
Does the trim level — for example Excellence, Pure Excellence or M Sport — affect which CV joint I need for my i7?
No, the trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the BMW i7 — Excellence, Pure Excellence, and M Sport are primarily cosmetic and equipment-level distinctions and do not change the driveshaft or CV joint specification. What does matter is the drivetrain variant (eDrive50, xDrive60, or M70) and which corner of the car the joint is from. Tell the breaker your drivetrain, axle position, and side, and trim level is not something they will need to know for this part.
Are used BMW i7 CV joints readily available from UK breakers, given it is a relatively new electric car?
The i7 only went on sale in the UK from 2022, so the pool of salvaged i7s at UK dismantlers is smaller than for established models, and used CV joints may be harder to source than for a common petrol BMW. It is worth using a marketplace like Findapart to request quotes from multiple breakers at once, as stock varies considerably. If a used part cannot be found, a breaker may be able to point you toward a remanufactured or aftermarket alternative.
