BMW i3 & i8 Brake Carrier Bolt FAQs
Which models does this brake carrier bolt fit?
Fits BMW i3 (2013–2022) and BMW i8 (2014–2020) models. Please provide your vehicle registration number for exact confirmation.
What is the OEM part number it replaces?
It replaces BMW OEM part number 34 11 6 778 234.
Is this a single bolt or a set?
This listing is for a single bolt. You will usually need 2 per brake carrier (4 per axle).
Why is the bolt zinc-lamella coated?
The coating provides excellent corrosion protection, especially important on EVs that use regenerative braking (less heat means less self-cleaning of the brakes).
Do I need special tools to fit it?
Yes – you need a Torx E18 socket/bit for correct installation and proper torque.
