Second Hand BMW M4 Quarter Panel

The F82 M4 Coupe ran from 2014 to 2020, and the G82 M4 Coupe followed from 2021 onwards — these are completely different platforms with no shared body pressings, so a panel from the wrong generation will not fit. Within the F82 generation there were no significant model-year name changes, but mid-generation pressing changes are possible, so if you are buying across a wide year gap within the F82 (say, a 2014 panel for a 2019 car), confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Never assume year-to-year compatibility without checking.

Both a 2015 and a 2018 M4 sit within the same F82 generation (2014–2020), so they are broadly the same body shell. However, pressing changes can occur mid-generation without a formal facelift announcement, so confirm with the breaker that the donor panel matches your specific registration rather than relying on the shared generation alone. This is especially worth checking on the OS (offside) and NS (nearside) rear quarters where subtle changes sometimes appear.

Trim level — including Competition — does not affect quarter panel fitment on the M4; the body shell is the same regardless of whether the car is a standard M4 or M4 Competition. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging or the finish around certain body features, but the panel itself will fit. Simply confirm the generation (F82 or G82) and body style match, and the trim level need not concern you.

Yes, within the F82 generation the M4 was offered as both a Coupe and a Convertible, and these have different rear quarter pressings, so you must match the body style exactly. The G82 generation M4 also introduced a four-door Gran Coupe (G26-based) alongside the standard Coupe, again with entirely different quarter panels. Always specify your body style clearly when contacting a breaker, and confirm against your registration.

Whether M4 quarter panels differ from those on a standard 4 Series built on the same platform is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel differences between same-platform variants can exist and we cannot state this as fact here. The generation and body style must still match — F82 M4 Coupe to F82 4 Series Coupe, for example — as a starting point. A good breaker will be able to check the part number against your VIN to confirm suitability before you commit.

Yes, quarter panels are side-specific and a nearside (NS, passenger side) panel will not fit the offside (OS, driver side), so always state clearly which side you need when requesting a quote from a breaker. You should also confirm the exact generation (F82 2014–2020 or G82 2021–present) and body style at the same time. Getting these details right upfront saves time and avoids ordering the wrong part.
