Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for BMW 5 Series 520 I E39
Which components make up the drivetrain on a BMW 5 Series 520 I E39?
The drivetrain consists of components that transfer power from the gearbox to the wheels, including the propeller shaft, differential, and rear drive shafts.
How do I know if the drive shaft on my BMW E39 520i needs replacing?

Do all propeller shafts fit every E39 520i?
No, the prop shaft can vary in length and specification depending on whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox, as well as the specific production year.
Can I replace just the CV joint, or do I need to replace the entire drive shaft?
On the BMW E39, replacing the complete drive shaft is often recommended to ensure optimal balance and long-term driveline reliability.
