Hi,

Does anyone on here know if different tie rod ends/arms are used on xDrive models?

I have these part numbers for the full assembly from BMW and they seem to be specific for the xDrive models: B32.10.6.792.030/B32.10.6.792.029

Apart from this I can't find any tie rod ends that specify if they will or won't be compatible with xDrive.

This and many other parts shops say the tie rod ends are compatible using the fitment checker but do not appear to take into account if the car is RWD or xDrive.

I have a 420d F32 xDrive 2018.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

FWIW, the tie rods have different part numbers for X-Drive (the ones you cited) vs RWD models (32106799960, 32106799965).

The X-Drive models take different ends (inner & outer).

Here’s a sample link to the X-drive specific outer: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...-rod-end-left/. Note the application list at the bottom shows only X-drive models.
