Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for BMW 5 Serie 520 D E39
What are the most common signs of a failing centre bearing on my BMW E39 520d?
The most common symptoms are vibrations felt through the centre console or floor, particularly under acceleration. You may also hear a whining or grinding noise from beneath the car that changes with road speed.
Do all E39 drive shafts fit my 520d?
No, drive shafts vary depending on the engine option and gearbox type. It is therefore essential to select your exact model and engine variant to ensure you receive the correct drive shaft for your 520d.
How do I tell if vibrations are caused by the propeller shaft or a drive shaft?
Vibrations from the propeller shaft are typically felt centrally through the cabin and depend on vehicle speed, whereas failing drive shafts usually cause vibrations through the steering wheel or seat under specific load or acceleration.
Do you offer a fitment guarantee on parts for the BMW 5 Serie 520 D E39?
Yes, we provide a 100% fitment guarantee when you select your vehicle's make, model and engine specification. This gives you complete peace of mind that the parts you order will fit your car perfectly.
Why does my car vibrate under acceleration but not at a constant cruising speed?
This is a classic symptom of a worn inner CV joint. When the joint is placed under load during acceleration, play creates an imbalance that produces vibrations, which typically fade as soon as you ease off the throttle.
How quickly can I receive my spare parts?
We dispatch our stocked items promptly from our warehouse, helping you get your BMW 520d back on the road as quickly as possible.
