Drivetrain for BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13
The BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13 represents a unique combination of luxury, sportiness, and advanced four-wheel drive technology. Managing the massive torque produced by its six-cylinder diesel engine requires a BMW 6 Serie drivetrain built with precision and durability at its core. The xDrive system in the F13 chassis places high demands on all rotating components, from the front differential to the rear wheel hubs. As power is distributed between the axles, both the drive shafts and joints endure substantial stress, especially under spirited driving or challenging weather conditions.
Maintaining the drivetrain on a 640d xDrive is crucial to preserving the car's characteristic handling. A smooth, properly functioning power delivery system guarantees not only performance, but also fuel efficiency and safety. Here at CVJoint24, you will find components engineered to match the precise requirements of the F13 platform. We understand that every part—whether it is a drive shaft for the BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13 or a smaller CV boot—must meet the highest standards to withstand the forces generated by the xDrive system.
How the drivetrain is engineered on the BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13
The layout of the drivetrain in a BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13 is a piece of precision engineering designed to maximise traction and stability. The system relies on a central transfer case that channels power forward and rearward via two separate propeller shafts. For this specific model, 2 propeller shafts work in tandem to deliver power to the front and rear differentials. From the differentials, torque is distributed to the road wheels via 4 drive shafts in total, which is standard for the xDrive configuration on the F13 chassis.
Each propeller shaft for the BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13 is balanced to eliminate high-speed vibrations, which is vital in a car of this calibre. The drive shafts are equipped with inner and outer CV joints, accommodating both suspension travel and steering angles while delivering constant velocity power. This sophisticated setup demands that every component works in perfect harmony. If one element starts to fail, the entire system's ability to distribute power efficiently is compromised, potentially leading to premature wear on the transfer box and other costly assemblies.
Common faults and symptoms
Despite BMW's exceptional build quality, driveline components are naturally subject to wear and tear over time. One of the most typical signs that an outer CV joint on a BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13 is failing is a clicking or knocking sound on full steering lock, such as when parking. This is frequently caused by a split CV boot, which allows dirt to ingress and lubricating grease to escape. For inner joints, the symptoms differ; worn inner joints usually produce vibrations through the body shell under acceleration, indicating play or wear in the joint tracks.
On xDrive models such as the 640d F13, issues may also stem from the prop shafts. Vibrations felt through the seat or floorpan at specific road speeds can point to worn centre bearings or universal joints within the prop shaft assembly. It is also important to watch out for jerking or hesitation during hard acceleration, which may signal uneven power delivery. Ignoring these early warning signs can result in secondary damage to differentials or the gearbox, making prompt repairs a far more cost-effective approach.
Common replacement parts for the BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13
When repairing the driveline on a BMW 640d xDrive, several components are typically required. Our range for this model includes 4 drive shafts, covering both the front and rear axles. Replacing a complete drive shaft is often more cost-effective and reliable than attempting to overhaul worn joints. For situations where the issue is isolated, we also supply 1 specific outer CV joint and 1 inner CV joint machined to the exact dimensions and spline counts of the F13 platform.
Beyond the driveshafts, the propeller shaft is another critical wear area. We offer 2 propeller shafts for this model, covering both the front and rear sections of the xDrive drivetrain. Other standard wear parts include boot kits and ABS rings. Selecting the correct spare parts ensures your car's dynamic stability and traction systems receive precise sensor readings and function as intended. All our car parts are selected to match or exceed OEM specifications, essential for a vehicle producing the immense torque of the 640d.

Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for BMW 6 Serie 640 D Xdrive F13
How do I know if a drive shaft is failing on my BMW 640d xDrive?
The most common symptoms are vibrations under acceleration or clicking noises when cornering. As the 640d produces high torque, wear often becomes more noticeable under heavy load.
Does the same CV joint fit both the front and rear axles on the F13?
No, the CV joints differ between the front and rear axles as well as between the inner and outer positions. Always select your specific vehicle details to find the exact part for your car.
Why does my BMW 6 Series vibrate at motorway speeds?
This is often caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft or wear in a centre bearing. On xDrive models, it is essential to inspect both the front and rear prop shafts.
Is it difficult to replace a drive shaft on a BMW 640 D Xdrive?
It requires appropriate tools and mechanical expertise, especially as the xDrive system has a compact layout. We recommend following BMW's specific repair instructions.
What does the fitment guarantee at CVJoint24 mean?
It means that when you select your vehicle's correct make, model and engine variant, we guarantee the recommended part will fit your car physically and technically.
How often should I inspect the CV boots on my BMW F13?
We recommend inspecting them at every service or wheel change. A split CV boot quickly leads to constant velocity joint failure due to dirt ingress and grease loss.
