Second Hand BMW M2 Central Locking Motor

Yes, the BMW M2 is equipped with central locking motors as part of its standard central locking system, fitted to each door. These are genuine components you can source as used parts from a breaker.

The F87 generation covers both the original M2 (from 2016) and the M2 Competition (from 2018 to 2021), so both sit within the same F87 body shell and door architecture, making the central locking motors very likely to interchange. However, confirm the specific part number against your registration with the breaker before buying, as minor running changes can occur within a generation.

Trim level does not affect central locking motor fitment — the CS and Competition Sport share the same F87 body shell and door design as the standard M2 and M2 Competition. You may find cosmetic differences in door trim panels if you're comparing stripped-out parts, but the motor itself should be the same unit across F87 trims.

No — the G87 is an entirely new generation of M2, launched in 2023, with a different body shell and door construction to the F87. Central locking motors are not interchangeable across this generation boundary, so make sure any part you source is confirmed as F87 or G87 to match your car.

Central locking motors on the M2 are typically the same unit regardless of which side of the car they're fitted to, but this can vary by design, so always tell the breaker which door you need it for. Quoting your registration alongside the door position will help the breaker supply the correct part with confidence.

The F87 M2 is based on the F22 2 Series platform and shares significant bodywork, so the door-mounted central locking motors may well be the same units — but this is something you should confirm directly with the breaker, quoting both registrations, rather than assume. A good breaker will cross-reference part numbers to verify compatibility before supplying.
