Used BMW i7 Headlight

The BMW i7 (G70 platform) launched in 2022 and is the first generation of BMW's electric 7 Series; as of 2025 no facelift has been announced, so all UK i7s built to date sit within a single front-end generation. This means headlights from any 2022-onwards i7 are produced on the same platform, which is a good starting point for fitment. Always confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Both the 2023 and 2024 i7 sit within the same G70 generation with no facelift between them, so in principle the front-end architecture is shared and the headlight should be compatible. That said, BMW can make running production changes during a model year, so it is worth asking the breaker to cross-reference the part number against your specific registration before purchasing.

No — headlights are front-end components shared across body configurations within the same generation, so wheelbase and roof variants do not change which light fits. Focus your search on confirming the generation (G70, 2022-onwards) and any trim-related optical differences rather than body dimensions. A breaker should be able to match the part directly to your reg.

Engine and drivetrain trim — including eDrive50, xDrive60, and the M70 — do not affect headlight fitment because all i7 variants share the same G70 front end. However, BMW offers different headlight optical units (for example Crystal Headlights as an option on higher trims), so a light pulled from a differently-specced car may look slightly different even if the mounting points match. Confirm the specific unit type with the breaker against your registration so you end up with a matching pair.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger side, left) and OS (offside, driver side, right) headlights are handed and not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. On a UK right-hand-drive i7 the NS is the left headlight as you face the front of the car. Make sure the breaker confirms the side and checks it against your registration before any purchase is agreed.

Engine type has no bearing on headlight fitment within the G70 i7 generation, so don't let a different powertrain put you off. What does matter is confirming the exact optical specification (LED unit type, any adaptive or laser light package) matches your car, as these can differ between specification levels even on the same platform. Ask the breaker to verify the part number against your registration before committing to a purchase.
