Car parts and drivetrain components for BMW 1 Serie.
The most common signs are vibrations through the car under acceleration or clicking noises when turning. If you notice a torn CV boot and grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the shaft or CV joint needs replacing.
Yes, on many BMW 1 Series models it is possible to replace just the ABS ring if the original has cracked due to corrosion. This is a far more cost-effective solution than replacing the entire drive shaft.
Vibrations during acceleration are often caused by wear in the inner CV joint or issues with the propeller shaft centre bearing and universal joints. It is important to inspect these parts to prevent damage to the gearbox.
No, the propeller shaft varies depending on whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox, its engine type, and whether it is rear-wheel drive or xDrive. Always select your vehicle's make, model and engine to find the correct prop shaft.
The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and accommodates steering angles, whilst the inner joint sits nearest the gearbox or differential and accommodates longitudinal movement during suspension travel.
When you select your car's make, model and engine, our system matches your vehicle's technical specifications against our catalogue of 458 items for BMW 1 Series, ensuring you only see the parts that genuinely fit your car.
Because xDrive models feature more components, such as front drive shafts and an additional prop shaft, there are more parts subject to wear. However, our individual part prices remain highly competitive.
