Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain parts for BMW 3 Series 316 TI E46
How do I know if my BMW 3 Series 316 TI E46 needs a new drive shaft?
Common symptoms include clicking noises during acceleration or cornering, as well as vibrations while driving. If the CV boot is torn and grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the joint is damaged.
Why does my BMW 3 Series 316 TI E46 vibrate under acceleration?
Vibrations under acceleration in a rear-wheel-drive car such as the 316 TI are often caused by wear in the prop shaft centre bearing or universal joints. It can also stem from an imbalance in the shaft itself.
Can I replace just the ABS ring on my BMW 3 Series 316 TI E46?
Yes, this is often possible and much more cost-effective than replacing the complete drive shaft. If your ABS warning light is on and the reluctor ring is cracked, replacing just the ring is a common fix.
What is the difference between a drive shaft and a propeller shaft on this model?
The propeller shaft runs along the length of the car and transfers power from the gearbox to the rear axle. The drive shafts are positioned transversely at the rear, transferring power from the differential out to the road wheels.
