Car parts and drivetrain components for BMW 3 Serie 330 XI E46. Always check the fit before ordering.
Vibrations under acceleration on a 330 XI are often caused by wear in the prop shaft centre bearing or universal joints, or worn inner CV joints on the front axle. You should also inspect the rubber doughnut (giubo) coupling for cracks.
No, the drive shafts on the XI model are unique because of the all-wheel-drive system. Front drive shafts do not exist at all on rear-wheel-drive models, and the rear shafts can differ in dimensions.
Common symptoms include an illuminated ABS warning light or the ABS pulsating at low speeds on dry tarmac. A visual inspection often reveals corrosion damage or cracks across the ring.
It requires a fair amount of mechanical experience and access to a vehicle ramp. Because the XI has an additional prop shaft running to the front axle, space is more restricted than on standard models, but our shafts are supplied complete for direct fitment.
Our fitment guarantee means that if you choose your BMW 330 XI E46 make, model and engine variant correctly and we still supply a part that does not fit, we will help you exchange it for the correct part at no extra cost.
We dispatch all in-stock parts ordered before our daily cut-off time promptly from our Swedish warehouse, ensuring fast delivery across Europe so you can get your car back on the road without delay.
