Yes, it is technically possible. However, on a high-performance car like the M5 E61, replacing the complete propeller shaft is often recommended if it has covered high mileage, as imbalance in the shaft itself is frequently the underlying cause of premature centre bearing wear.

Because the prop shaft rotates at very high speeds, even minimal imbalance can generate severe vibrations. This not only impairs driving comfort but can also cause long-term damage to the gearbox and differential.
