Helpful Information
This guide aims to provide 'general' information about BMW transmissions, such as common issues that we've encountered and tips on determining fitment compatibility.
Serious impact can damage crossmembers—otherwise they are not prone to any issues.
The crossmembers in BMWs serve as a mounting point for the engine, rear differential and suspension. Crossmembers themselves are mounted to the body and are designed to to maintain alignment and distribute stress in order to provide structural rigidity to the vehicle’s body. They also provide a role in absorbing impacts to protect the body from damage.
There can be multiple, non-exchangeable types of both front and rear crossmember within any given model generation.
The best way to determine fitment compatibility of a crossmember is to match the BMW part numbers from the catalogue. This can be done by decoding your vehicle’s VIN in a BMW EPC (electronic part catalogue.)
If you don’t have access to an EPC, provide our team with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN—and we’ll check our stock for a compatible match.
There is some interchangeability of both front and rear crossmembers between vehicle sharing common platforms.
