Fitment questions
Does the BMW M4 have a track rod?
Yes, the BMW M4 is a rear-wheel-drive (or xDrive four-wheel-drive) performance car with a conventional front suspension setup that includes track rods (also called tie rods) as part of the steering system. All M4 variants across both generations use track rods to connect the steering rack to the wheel hub, so this is a genuine part for this vehicle.
Will a track rod from an F82 M4 fit a G82 M4?
No — the F82 M4 (2014–2020) and the G82 M4 (2021-onwards) are entirely different generations with different front subframe and steering geometry, so the track rods are not interchangeable. Always source a track rod specific to your generation and confirm with the breaker against your registration plate.
Does it matter whether my M4 is the pre-facelift or Competition model when sourcing a track rod?
The Competition is an engine and chassis tune rather than a separate body or steering architecture, and trim level does not affect track rod fitment — the steering geometry is the same across standard and Competition variants within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences in what surrounds the part on the car, but the track rod itself should be the same; confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Is the NS (nearside) track rod the same as the OS (offside) track rod on the BMW M4?
On most vehicles the track rods are handed — nearside and offside are not the same part — and this is true of the BMW M4. Always tell the breaker which side you need (NS = driver's left, OS = driver's right on a UK right-hand-drive car) to make sure you receive the correct unit.
Will a track rod from a standard F80 BMW M3 fit my F82 M4?
The F80 M3 saloon and F82 M4 coupe share the same S55 engine and front suspension platform within the same generation (2014–2020), and in many cases front steering components including track rods are shared between them. That said, confirm directly with the breaker against both registration numbers before purchasing, as minor running changes can occur across a production run.
My M4 is a 2018 — can I use a track rod from a 2015 car?
Both a 2015 and a 2018 M4 fall within the F82 generation (2014–2020), so there is a reasonable chance the track rods are compatible, but mid-generation running changes can affect components even when the model name stays the same. Check the part numbers with the breaker against your registration before committing to the purchase.
