BMW i3 Parts & Accessories

Explore BMW i3 parts with chassis, market and powertrain configuration identified. For the original electric hatchback, brake service follows its installed friction-brake equipment.

Electric and Range-Extender Identification

Record the exact i3 chassis and production details. The original hatchback was offered with battery-electric and range-extender configurations; those configurations have different engine-service requirements.

A range-extender service application should not be transferred to a battery-electric car. Identify the actual system being serviced before comparing components.

Brake Pads and Service Hardware

Regenerative braking does not identify the correct replacement friction pad. Match caliper, axle, pad shape and rotor specification before choosing compound.

Review wear-sensor provisions and fitting hardware separately. Related-model product titles require manufacturer cross-coverage with the brake assembly on your car.

Choose Your Part

• Identify chassis, market and production.
• Record battery-electric or range-extender setup.
• Match friction brakes by assembly.
• Compare sensors, hardware and compound use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does regenerative braking remove the need for friction-brake parts?

No. Select replacement pads and rotors for the installed friction-brake assembly.

Do battery-electric and range-extender i3 versions have identical engine-service needs?

No. Engine-service components apply only to the configuration and system stated by the manufacturer.

Can i3s pad coverage be assumed to include every i3?

Confirm caliper, axle, pad shape and production coverage.

What should I compare between pad sets?

Compare exact application, compound use, sensor provisions and supplied hardware.

What information helps resolve a shared-model brake listing?

Provide chassis, production date, axle and the installed caliper or pad reference.
