Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for BMW 3 Serie 320 I E30
What are the most common signs that my drive shaft needs replacing?
The most common symptoms include clicking noises when cornering (outer joint) or vibrations under acceleration (inner joint). On the BMW E30, vibrations under acceleration are frequently linked to a worn inner CV joint.
Does the propeller shaft from other E30 models fit my 320i?
No, propeller shafts can vary in length depending on the gearbox and engine variant. It is therefore essential to filter by your car's make, model and engine to find the exact propeller shaft for your 320i E30.
What causes body vibrations on a BMW 320i E30?
Body vibrations are often caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft, a worn centre bearing, or worn universal joints. They can also stem from a faulty inner CV joint on the rear axle.
Is everything included when buying an inner CV joint?
Yes, our inner CV joints are normally supplied as complete kits including the joint, CV boot, grease and all necessary mounting hardware to ensure a proper replacement.
How does your fitment guarantee work?
Our fitment guarantee means that when you select your specific make, model and engine variant, we guarantee that the parts will fit your car. In the unlikely event that something is not right, we will help you source the correct part.
Can I replace the drive shaft on my E30 myself?
Yes, it is entirely feasible for a DIY mechanic with basic technical knowledge and the right tools. However, it requires safely raising the car and undoing bolts that are often seized on older vehicles.
