BMW 3 Coupé 330 XI

The most common signs are a clicking noise when taking sharp turns (outer CV joint) or vibrations through the car under acceleration (inner CV joint). Also check whether the CV boots are intact, as leaking grease quickly leads to premature wear of the joint.

No, the 330 XI has a unique drivetrain owing to the all-wheel-drive system (xDrive). Drive shafts and joints often differ in dimensions and mountings compared to the rear-wheel-drive 330i. Always select your vehicle by make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct part.

Vibrations during acceleration are frequently caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the propeller shaft. On a four-wheel-drive model such as the 330 XI, issues with the centre bearing or the front prop shaft can also produce similar symptoms.

That depends on the damage. It is often possible to replace only the centre bearing if the prop shaft itself and its universal joints remain in good condition. We offer standalone centre bearings to enable a more cost-effective repair whenever possible.

Because there are several propeller shaft variants depending on the gearbox and model year, the most reliable approach is to select your exact model and engine on cvjoint24.com. We filter out the shafts that feature the precise length and flanges needed for your car.

Our CV joint kits are complete to ensure hassle-free installation. They typically include the CV joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-quality grease, circlips and all necessary clamps.
