Car parts and drivetrain components for BMW 3 Convertible 323 I. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common symptoms are vibrations through the body shell whilst driving, clunking noises when changing gear, or a whining noise from the centre bearing. If the vibrations increase with road speed, it is often a sign of an unbalanced shaft.
No, propeller shafts often vary in length and specification depending on the engine variant, gearbox type (manual/automatic), and body style. Always filter by make, model, and engine to ensure the correct fitment.
Our fitment guarantee means that if you select your vehicle's make, model, and engine variant and order the recommended part, we guarantee it will fit your car. If anything should unexpectedly be incorrect, we will help you find the right part at no extra cost.
In many cases, you can replace just the centre bearing. However, if the prop shaft's universal joints are worn or the shaft has become unbalanced, replacing the entire assembly is often recommended for long-term reliability.
We dispatch all in-stock items as quickly as possible. If you place your order early on a working day, it is typically dispatched the very same day from our warehouse.
A propeller shaft rotates at very high speeds. Even the slightest imbalance creates severe vibrations that not only harm ride comfort, but can also damage the seals and bearings in the gearbox and differential.
