Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for BMW 3 Series 330 i E46
What are the most common signs of a failing drive shaft on my BMW 330i E46?
The most common symptoms are clicking noises at full steering lock, vibrations under acceleration, and grease splattered on the inside of the wheel rim caused by a split CV boot.
Does the same drive shaft fit all BMW E46 models?
No, the 330i often features heavy-duty drive shafts and different mountings compared to models with smaller engines. Always filter by your make, model and engine to ensure the correct fit.
Why is the ABS warning light on in my BMW 3 Series 330 i E46?
A very common cause on the E46 is that the ABS ring on the drive shaft has corroded or cracked, preventing the wheel speed sensor from reading accurately.
What is included when I purchase a propeller shaft from you?
Our propeller shafts are supplied as complete units, pre-balanced and ready to install to eliminate vibrations in your BMW's drivetrain.
How does your fitment guarantee work for BMW parts?
When you select your exact make, model and engine variant, we guarantee the part will fit your specific car. In the unlikely event that it does not fit, we will help you find the correct replacement at no extra charge.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire drive shaft?
On the BMW E46, it is often possible to replace just the ABS ring if the rest of the drive shaft is in good condition, making it a very cost-effective repair.
