Used BMW iX Glove Box

Yes, the BMW iX does have a glove box on the passenger side of the dashboard, so this is a straightforward part to search for. The iX is an all-electric SUV launched in 2022 in the UK, and like any conventional passenger car it features a standard glove box regardless of drivetrain, since the absence of a combustion engine has no bearing on interior fitment. You can confidently search for a used iX glove box from a breaker.

The BMW iX (U11 platform) has been sold in the UK from 2022 onwards and is currently in its first generation, so parts from across the 2022–2025 range are broadly from the same generation. That said, BMW does make running production changes, and whether a specific early-build glove box crosses seamlessly to a later build is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. As a first-generation model with no major facelift confirmed within this period, the chances of compatibility are reasonable, but let the breaker verify the exact part numbers.

Trim level can affect interior finish and materials — for example, an M Sport or M60 iX may have different interior colour schemes or trim detailing that extends to the glove box surround or lid finish — so a glove box from a lower trim may look noticeably different even if it fits physically. The core fitment should match across trims within the same generation, but if you want an exact visual match you should tell the breaker which trim your car is and source accordingly. Never assume a glove box from a different trim will look identical, even if it bolts in correctly.

No — the engine or motor variant makes no difference to glove box fitment, as this is a purely interior part unaffected by what is under the bonnet or floor. Whether your iX is an xDrive40, xDrive50, or M60, the glove box fitment is determined by generation and trim, not powertrain. You can safely disregard the motor variant when searching.

No — on right-hand-drive UK cars the driver sits on the right, so the glove box is on the left (nearside, NS) in front of the passenger. Left-hand-drive cars have a mirrored dashboard layout, meaning their glove box will not be a direct swap. Always make sure you are sourcing from a right-hand-drive iX when buying from a UK breaker, and confirm this with the breaker before purchasing.

A glove box is not a safety-critical component, so there are no regulatory reasons preventing a DIY fit — it is generally a clip-and-screw interior job that a competent home mechanic can tackle. That said, the iX has a modern, largely digital interior and access may require partial dashboard disassembly, so if you are not confident it is worth having a garage do it. Always check that any wiring connections (such as a glove box light) are reconnected properly before closing everything up.
