BMW ETK is the BMW Group’s electronic parts catalog (EPC) that identifies genuine parts and accessories through VIN decoding, model filtering, and detailed exploded diagrams for precise part-number lookup. It is used by dealers, independent workshops, and owners to find the exact components for BMW, MINI, and Rolls‑Royce vehicles without guesswork.
What ETK does
ETK centralizes parts identification with official-style diagrams, structured categories, and part numbers so users can locate the exact components and related hardware for a given vehicle system. VIN-based filtering refines applicability by model, market, and build date to minimize ordering errors. Contemporary catalogs cover BMW automobiles and motorcycles plus MINI and Rolls‑Royce lines, reflecting the BMW Group portfolio.
Who uses it and why
Parts departments rely on ETK because it links part identification to local pricing and invoicing, streamlining quotes and orders for multi-line part lists. DIY owners and independent shops use ETK-style portals to pre-validate part numbers, check quantities, and prepare accurate requests before contacting a dealer.
How to use ETK effectively
Start with the VIN and enter the last 7 characters to decode model and production date, ensuring diagrams and part numbers match your vehicle.
Navigate by main groups and diagrams to pinpoint the exact item, associated fasteners, and required quantities.
Use “Part NR Application Search,” market, and product filters (car/motorcycle, current/classic) to verify cross-compatibility and regional differences.
Confirm availability and pricing with an authorized retailer or online dealer portal once your list is prepared.
