Used cv jointss vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The BMW X4 is exclusively available with xDrive four-wheel drive across all variants and generations, so CV joints exist on every BMW X4 - they are used on both the front and rear driveshafts to transmit drive through the steering and suspension articulation. There are no front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive-only X4 variants that would lack them. When sourcing used CV joints from a breaker, you'll need to specify whether you need the front or rear, and nearside (NS) or offside (OS).
The F26 first-generation X4 (2014-2018) and the G02 second-generation X4 (2018 onwards) are built on completely different platforms, so CV joints are very unlikely to interchange between these two generations. The G02 moved to BMW's CLAR architecture, which brought significant changes to the driveshaft and running gear dimensions. Always confirm the part against your exact registration with the breaker before purchasing.
Engine size can influence CV joint specification on the BMW X4, as higher-torque engines such as the M40i or M Competition variants place greater demands on driveline components and may use uprated CV joints compared to the standard four-cylinder diesels and petrols. Within the same generation, a 2.0-litre and a 3.0-litre X4 may carry different driveshaft assemblies, so the engine code matters when sourcing a used joint. Give the breaker your full registration so they can verify the correct specification for your car.
Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the BMW X4 in terms of the bodywork or cosmetic specification - an xLine, M Sport, and M Sport X of the same generation and engine will use the same CV joints. However, the X4 M Competition (F98/G02 M) is a distinct high-performance model with its own drivetrain components and should be treated separately from the standard X4 range. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to make sure you're getting the right part for your specific build.
A 2017 X4 is a late F26 first-generation car, while a 2018 or 2019 X4 could be either a very late F26 or an early G02 second-generation model - these two generations do not share CV joints. The G02 launched in 2018, so a 2018 X4 may be either generation depending on build date, making it important to cross-reference the chassis generation rather than just the year. Ask the breaker to verify compatibility against both your registration and their donor vehicle's VIN before agreeing a purchase.
Yes, this is one of the most important things to get right - front and rear CV joints on the BMW X4 are different parts and are not interchangeable. Within each end, you also need to specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side), as left and right joints may differ. Give the breaker your registration, confirm the exact location you need, and where possible have the part number from your existing joint to hand for a like-for-like match.
