Fitment on a used front bumper varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The S-Class has run through several well-established generations: W220 (1998–2005), W221 (2005–2013), and W222 (2013–2020), with the current W223 from 2020 onwards. Front bumpers are shared across wheelbase lengths (standard and long-wheelbase) within the same generation, so a short-wheelbase bumper will fit a long-wheelbase car of the same generation. Crossing between generations is not possible as the front-end designs are entirely different, so always confirm the generation code with the breaker against your registration.
The W221 received a facelift in 2009, giving it revised front lighting, grille and bumper styling, so the pre-facelift (2005–2009) and post-facelift (2009–2013) bumpers are visually different. Both are from the same generation and share the same bodyshell, but whether the panels themselves interchange across that 2009 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Similarly, the W222 was facelifted in 2017, creating the same pre- and post-facelift boundary to watch out for.
Trim level — whether your car is an SE, Exclusive, AMG Line, or AMG 63 — does not affect the underlying body panel fitment within the same generation and facelift period. However, AMG Line and full AMG bumpers often have different styling, larger air intake apertures, and additional cut-outs for sensors or splitters compared with standard trims, so a direct swap may look noticeably different on your car. The breaker can confirm which specific bumper they have and help you match the style to your own.
No, the wheelbase does not affect the front bumper on the W222 S-Class — the front-end panels are shared across both the standard and long-wheelbase (Maybach excluded) variants within the same facelift period. Just make sure the bumper is from the correct facelift period, either pre-2017 or post-2017, and from the matching trim specification if you want the styling to align. Confirm the exact part with your breaker using your registration to be certain.
No — whether your S-Class is a diesel (S350d), petrol (S500, S560), hybrid (S400e), or any other engine variant, the front bumper is the same within a given generation and facelift period. The key factors are generation (W220, W221, W222, or W223) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift, not what's under the bonnet. Give the breaker your registration and they can match the correct bumper to your car.
Later S-Class models, particularly the W222 and W223, came with various active safety and parking technologies fitted as standard or as options, meaning bumpers can differ in the number and position of sensor holes and camera apertures. This is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as they can check the bumper they have matches your car's sensor layout. Fitting a bumper with incorrect or missing cut-outs may require modification and could affect your parking system, so it's worth clarifying before purchase.
