BMW 2000 3.0 CSI E9

The most common symptoms are vibrations and a humming or droning noise coming from the car's centre console or floor, particularly under acceleration or within specific speed ranges. If the rubber surrounding the centre bearing has cracked or perished, the propeller shaft can knock, causing severe shaking.

No, the propeller shaft can vary depending on the gearbox type and the exact model specification. For the BMW 2000 3.0 CSI E9, it is important to check the length and flange connections. Always select your vehicle's exact make, model and engine to ensure you receive the correct part for your car.

You can certainly replace just the centre bearing if the propeller shaft's universal joints are otherwise in good condition and the shaft remains true. However, if the U-joints are worn or the shaft is out of balance, we often recommend replacing the complete prop shaft for the best results.

Our fitment guarantee means that we ensure the part you order according to your car's make, model and engine will fit correctly. Should it unexpectedly turn out to be incorrect, we will help you find the right part at no extra charge to you.

We aim to offer prompt dispatch for all in-stock products. If you place your order in good time on a working day, it is normally dispatched the same day for the fastest possible delivery across the EU.

A propeller shaft rotates at high speed. Even the slightest imbalance creates vibrations that are not only uncomfortable, but can also cause serious long-term damage to the gearbox, differential and vehicle chassis.
