BMW 5 Serie 520 I E34

The parts most frequently replaced on a BMW 520i E34 are drive shafts, inner CV joints and the propeller shaft centre bearing. Owing to the age of the vehicle, rubber components such as CV boots and propshaft guibo flex discs also wear out frequently.

Typical signs of a failing propeller shaft include vibrations through the floorpan or seats, particularly at speeds between 50 and 90 km/h. Unusual noises, such as thumping or whining from the centre tunnel, can also indicate a fault with the prop shaft or its centre bearing.

This is not recommended without careful verification. Drive shafts often vary in length, flange design and bolt patterns depending on engine size and gearbox. Always select your specific make, model and engine to ensure the correct fit for your 520i.

Vibrations specifically under acceleration are frequently caused by worn inner CV joints. Under load, play in the joint's bearings creates an imbalance, which transmits through the drivetrain as noticeable shaking.
