BMW X4 Bonnet Latch Replacement Parts

The BMW X4 has been made in two generations: the F26 (2014–2018) and the G02 (2018-onwards, with a facelift around 2021). The bonnet latch is generation-specific, so an F26 latch will not fit a G02 and vice versa. When searching for a used part, make sure the breaker knows which generation your car is — your registration will confirm this instantly.

This depends on which side of the F26-to-G02 boundary your 2018 car falls, as production of the F26 ran into early 2018 before the G02 took over. If both cars are F26s the latch should be compatible, but if one is an F26 and the other a G02 they come from entirely different platforms and the latch will not interchange. Check your registration with the breaker to confirm which generation you have before agreeing a sale.

The G02 received a facelift in 2021 which brought changes to the front end including the grille and bumper area. Whether the bonnet latch itself is identical across the pre- and post-facelift G02 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as front-end components can be revised at facelift even when not visually obvious.

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment — the latch is a structural component shared across xLine, M Sport, M40i and other trim variants within the same generation. The bonnets themselves are the same panel across trims, so the latch mechanism is identical. You don't need to match trim level when sourcing a used latch, just make sure the generation matches.

No — the drivetrain layout (xDrive four-wheel drive versus sDrive rear-wheel drive) has no bearing on bonnet latch fitment, as the front-end structure is shared across drivetrain variants within a generation. Simply match the generation (F26 or G02) and you can disregard the xDrive or sDrive badge entirely for this part.

Engine choice — whether diesel, petrol, or the high-performance M40i — makes no difference to bonnet latch fitment, as the latch is the same across all engine variants within a generation. Focus on matching the generation (F26 2014–2018 or G02 2018-onwards) rather than the engine code, and any breaker should be able to supply the correct part.
