BMW 3 Serie 330 CD E46

No, the propeller shaft differs depending on the engine, gearbox (manual/automatic) and body style. For the 330 CD E46, it is essential to select your exact model and engine specifications to ensure you get a prop shaft with the correct length and mountings.

A very common cause on E46 models is a cracked or corroded ABS ring on the drive shaft. This causes the sensor to read incorrect values. We offer replacement ABS rings separately, providing a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the complete shaft.

Vibrations from the propeller shaft are typically felt through the entire body shell and depend on vehicle speed, whereas vibrations from drive shafts are usually most noticeable under acceleration or through the rear on rear-wheel-drive cars like the E46.
