BMW X6 Windscreen Replacement Parts

The BMW X6 has run across three main generations: the first-gen E71 (2008–2014), the second-gen F16 (2014–2019), and the third-gen G06 (2019–present). Windscreens are not interchangeable between these generations, so you need to match the part to your specific generation. When contacting a breaker, have your registration to hand so they can confirm the exact match.

These two cars fall either side of a generation boundary - the 2013 is a first-gen E71, while the 2015 is a second-gen F16 - so the windscreens are different and will not interchange. You should source an F16-generation screen for the 2015 car specifically. Always confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Yes, this is one of the most important things to check on newer X6s, particularly F16 and G06 models, which may have ADAS cameras or rain sensors mounted to the screen or its bracket. Fitting a screen without the correct bracket - or with the wrong type - can mean your lane-keep assist, auto emergency braking, or other driver aids stop working correctly. Confirm with the breaker whether the screen they have matches the ADAS setup on your specific car using your registration, as compatibility with your exact system is something only they can verify against the part.

Trim level and engine do not affect windscreen fitment on the BMW X6 - what matters is the generation, and whether the screen is heated and whether it carries an ADAS camera bracket. An xDrive30d and an M50i on the same generation will take the same screen, provided those heated and camera-bracket specs match. Bear in mind a screen from a higher-spec car may have extra brackets or heating elements that yours does not, so do check those details with the breaker.

Heated windscreens have a fine mesh of heating elements embedded in the glass, similar to a rear screen, and you will typically see small wiring connectors at the bottom edge of the screen on the NS or OS. If you are unsure, your breaker can check against your registration. It is important to match heated-to-heated or unheated-to-unheated, as the two are not interchangeable.

Windscreen replacement involves bonded glass and, on many X6s, ADAS camera recalibration after fitting - this is not a DIY job and in the UK most fitters will insist on professional installation for safety and insurance reasons. On F16 and G06 models especially, the ADAS system typically needs to be recalibrated using specialist equipment after the screen is replaced. Factor in the cost of fitting and any recalibration when budgeting for your used screen.
