Second Hand BMW M8 Bonnet Latch

The BMW M8 (G15/G14/G16 generation) launched in 2019 and the bonnet latch is shared across the front-end structure, which is consistent within this generation. Both 2019 and 2021 cars sit within the same pre-facelift period, so the latch is expected to be compatible. That said, always confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The G15/G14/G16 BMW M8 received a facelift in 2022, which updated the front end including lights, grille and bumpers - and this is the key boundary to be aware of for front-end parts. Whether the bonnet latch itself interchanges across that 2022 facelift line is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registration numbers, as it is not something we can guarantee as fact. A breaker with access to parts data can check whether the latch assembly and its mounting points changed at that point.

For a bonnet latch, trim level does not affect fitment - the M8 and M8 Competition share the same front-end structure and bonnet assembly within the same generation. You should not need to seek out a Competition-specific latch, and any cosmetic badging differences between the two trims are unrelated to the latch mechanism. Confirm the year and generation match with the breaker and you should be fine.

The BMW M8 was offered in Coupe (G15), Convertible (G14) and Gran Coupe (G16) body styles, and the bonnet latch and front-end structure are shared across these variants within the same generation. Body style, roof height and door count do not affect fitment for this part, so a latch from any of those body styles should be interchangeable. Confirm the generation and facelift period match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The bonnet latch is a front-end mechanical component unrelated to drivetrain or engine specification, so it makes no difference whether the donor car is a standard rear-wheel-drive M8 or an xDrive all-wheel-drive variant. What matters is that the generation and facelift period match your car. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can verify the correct part.

The most important thing is to confirm that the donor car is from the same generation (G15/G14/G16, launched 2019) and the same facelift period as your car - the 2022 facelift is the key boundary for front-end parts on the M8. Engine, drivetrain, trim level and body style do not affect which bonnet latch you need. Give your full registration to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part number against the donor vehicle before purchasing.
