BMW X1 Bonnet Replacement Parts

The BMW X1 has gone through three distinct generations: the E84 (2009–2015), the F48 (2015–2022, with a facelift around 2019), and the U11 (2022–present). Bonnets are not interchangeable between generations, so you need to match the correct generation to your car's registration. Use your reg when getting quotes from a breaker to confirm the exact generation.

The F48 generation runs from 2015 to 2022 and received a facelift in 2019, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and lights. Whether the bonnet itself is interchangeable across that 2019 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel profiles can subtly change even when they look similar. Don't assume a 2017 bonnet fits a 2020 car without checking.

No, the drivetrain variant (sDrive or xDrive) makes no difference to bonnet fitment – the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across drivetrain options within the same generation and facelift period. Focus on matching the generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift when sourcing from a breaker.

For the BMW X1, trim levels such as SE, Sport, xLine, and M Sport do not affect which bonnet fits – the panel itself is the same across trims within a given generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that some M Sport or higher-spec cars may have had different paint finishes or bonnet-mounted sensors, so mention your exact trim to the breaker so they can flag any cosmetic or fitment differences to expect.

A 2013 X1 is E84 generation, while a 2015 car sits right at the boundary between the late E84 and the newly introduced F48 – the F48 launched in late 2015. If the 2015 donor car is also E84, fitment is much more likely, but if it is an early F48, the bonnet will not fit your car. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker using both registrations before purchasing.

Yes – a 2016 X1 is an F48 first-generation (pre-facelift), while a 2021 car is an F48 post-facelift (updated around 2019), so the front-end styling did change between these two cars. Whether the bonnet panel itself is physically interchangeable across that facelift boundary is not something to assume; confirm it with the breaker against both registrations before you buy.
