F02 (Korean model in Europe)

Biko · 11-25-2021, 12:13 PM

Hi, I want to buy an F02 from someone that has been imported from Korea, I like it and I want to get it, but, my question is if that the european parts work for it since it's from Korea, like in the case if it's from US, some bolts or parts don't match by milimeters. Thanks in advance!

From Korea? It was probably manufactured in Dinglefing Germany on the same line with 90% of all other f02 seven series…then shipped to the Korean market where it was originally purchased.

The only thing “Korean” would be things required by Korean regulations.. But nuts and bolts etc would be the same ones used as every other f02 that came off the same assembly line in Dinglefing.

You can also run the VIN on one of the online part database sites…click on a diagram and see what the part nbrs are. If there a different part number based on the market it is in…then that will be listed. But again, nuts and bolts will not be different. The things that are different are specific items that is a requirement for a major market like mirrors. You can see an example below…the Gulf states and the USA require written warnings on the passenger side mirror…so you will see different selections for those type of things…but the actual mirror HOUSING is the same on all f01/f02 models…its just the mirror glass that may be different do to local regulations:
