Cheap BMW X1 Wheel Hub

The BMW X1 has had three generations: the E84 (2009–2015), the F48 (2015–2022), and the U11 (2022–present). These generations use completely different platforms and the wheel hub is not interchangeable between them, so knowing your generation is the single most important thing when sourcing a used hub from a breaker. Always confirm your generation with your registration plate before ordering.

A 2013 X1 is an E84 and a 2016 X1 is an F48 — these sit either side of the 2015 generation change and use entirely different underpinnings, so the hub will not cross that boundary. You need to source a hub from the same generation as your car; confirm the exact fitment with your breaker against your registration to make sure.

On the BMW X1, larger-engined variants can be fitted with uprated brakes and correspondingly different hub assemblies, particularly on the E84 where the xDrive 28i and 28d models sometimes differ from the smaller-engined variants. Because hub and brake carrier dimensions are linked, tell your breaker your exact engine code and whether your car is two-wheel drive or xDrive, not just the year, so they can match the correct unit.

Trim level alone does not affect wheel hub fitment on the BMW X1; an SE and an M Sport on the same generation with the same drivetrain and engine will use the same hub. The one cosmetic difference to be aware of is that higher trims such as M Sport may have different alloy wheel designs, but this has no bearing on the hub itself. Confirm fitment with your breaker using your registration rather than the trim name.

Yes, it matters: while the hub itself is often symmetrical on some axles, the associated bearing, ABS sensor wiring, and sometimes the knuckle arrangement can differ between the nearside (left, passenger side) and offside (right, driver side). Always tell your breaker clearly which corner the hub is for — front nearside, front offside, rear nearside, or rear offside — and confirm against your registration to get the right part.

The F48 X1 ran from 2015 to 2022 and received a facelift in 2019, but whether the wheel hub changed across that facelift is something you should confirm directly with your breaker against your registration rather than assume. Many running-gear components carry over through mid-generation updates, but brake and hub specifications can be revised, and only a breaker with the correct parts data can verify compatibility for your specific car.
