BMW iX1 Bonnet Latch Replacement Parts

The BMW iX1 is a fully electric vehicle and, like most modern EVs, it does not have a traditional front-mounted combustion engine. However, the iX1 does have a front storage compartment (frunk) accessed via a bonnet, so a bonnet latch does exist on this vehicle. If you are looking for this part, make sure to specify that your vehicle is the electric iX1 so the breaker can confirm the correct latch assembly.

The BMW iX1 is based on the U11 platform and was introduced in 2022, sharing its generation with the X1 (U11) range. As of 2025, the U11 generation is still current with no facelift having been confirmed or released, so all iX1 models from 2022 onwards are the same generation. This means parts from any iX1 within this period are likely to be from the same design generation, though you should always confirm with the breaker against your specific registration.

Both the 2022 and 2024 BMW iX1 are U11-generation vehicles with no facelift separating them, so the bonnet latch is likely to be the same part across those years. That said, minor running changes can occur mid-production, so it is worth confirming the part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. A used breaker-supplied latch is a practical option here given the single-generation overlap.

No, the trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the BMW iX1. Whether your car is a standard xLine, M Sport, or any other trim, the bonnet and its latch mechanism are the same across the range. Trim levels on the iX1 relate to styling details, interior specification, and wheel design rather than front-end structural components, so any iX1 U11 latch should be compatible regardless of trim.

The U11-generation X1 and iX1 share the same platform and body structure, and the bonnet latch mechanism is likely to be common across the range regardless of drivetrain. However, because the iX1's front end serves a frunk rather than housing an engine, there may be subtle differences in the latch or surrounding bracket assembly, so this is worth confirming with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

Findapart connects you with UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) who can supply used bonnet latches from salvaged iX1s. Because the iX1 is a relatively recent model from 2022 onwards, availability from breakers may be more limited than for older vehicles, but it is worth getting quotes through the platform. Always provide your registration number so the breaker can verify the correct part for your specific car.
