Frequently asked questions about Drivetrain for BMW 3 Serie 318 I E21
What are the most common signs of a worn propeller shaft on an E21?
The most common symptoms are vibrations through the floor or seat whilst driving, often between 50 and 90 km/h, as well as clunking noises when accelerating or decelerating.
Does the propeller shaft from a 318i also fit other E21 models?
That depends on the gearbox type and model year. It is safest to select your car's exact make, model and engine to verify the precise length and flange design for your BMW 3 Serie 318 I E21.
What is included in your fitment guarantee?
Our fitment guarantee means that when you select your vehicle's make, model and engine and order the recommended part, we guarantee that it fits your car technically. If not, we will help you find the correct part at no extra cost.
Can I replace the propeller shaft on my BMW 318i myself?
Yes, it is a mechanical job that is entirely feasible for a confident DIY mechanic, but it requires access to a vehicle lift or axle stands and the right tools to undo the flange bolts and centre bearing.
How fast do you deliver parts for the BMW E21?
We aim for fast dispatch on all in-stock items. If you order before our cut-off time, your parts are normally dispatched the same day.
Why is it important to replace the centre bearing at the same time as the propeller shaft?
A worn centre bearing causes imbalance that can quickly ruin the universal joints on a new prop shaft. Replacing both at the same time ensures long service life and vibration-free running.
