BMW 5 Serie 520 D F11

The most common signs are clicking noises on full steering lock or vibrations under acceleration. Also check whether the CV boots are intact; if grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the drive shaft has suffered damage.

No, the propeller shaft varies depending on engine option, gearbox and whether the car has xDrive or rear-wheel drive. Always select your car's make, model and engine in our search tool to find the correct prop shaft for your 520d.

Our fitment guarantee means that when you provide your car's exact vehicle details and we confirm that the part fits, we guarantee that it can be installed on your vehicle. This gives you extra peace of mind when buying complex drivetrain parts.

In some cases this is possible, but for the BMW 5 Series F11 we often recommend replacing the complete drive shaft. It is more cost-effective in terms of labour time and ensures that both the inner and outer joints are in as-new condition.

This is a classic symptom of an unbalanced propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. It can also be caused by worn flexible coupling discs (guibo joints) that no longer dampen vibrations from the gearbox effectively.
