BMW 5 Serie M5 E28

The drivetrain mainly consists of the gearbox, a two-piece propeller shaft with a centre bearing, a flexible propshaft coupling (giubo), the rear differential, and drive shafts that transfer power to the rear wheels.

Vibrations under acceleration are usually caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft, a worn centre bearing, or universal joints that have started to seize. It is important to inspect these parts immediately.

No, the M5 E28 features specific dimensions and heavy-duty components designed to handle the higher power output, meaning parts from standard models rarely fit without modification.

We recommend inspecting the propshaft coupling at every service or oil change, as cracks in the rubber can lead to severe vibrations and drivetrain damage.

Buying a complete propeller shaft gives you a fully balanced assembly with new joints and bearings, which eliminates the risk of vibrations and saves considerable installation time.
