Drivetrain for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06
The BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06, also known as the Gran Coupé, is a vehicle that seamlessly combines luxury with serious performance, and its drivetrain is a vital element in preserving that dynamic driving feel. As an owner of a 640i with xDrive, you know that power transfer must work flawlessly between the front and rear axles to manage the torque delivered by the potent straight-six engine. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these very driveline components to ensure your car remains in peak condition. With nine dedicated items in our range for this precise model variant, we cover your most critical requirements, from drive shafts to propeller shafts. Maintaining the drivetrain on a BMW 6 Series demands precision engineering and components capable of enduring the mechanical stresses of spirited driving and everyday commuting alike.
How the drivetrain is engineered on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06
The drivetrain layout on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 is technically advanced, engineered to distribute all-wheel-drive power efficiently whilst maintaining the marque's hallmark driving dynamics. The assembly comprises an automatic gearbox that directs torque to both the front and rear wheels via a central transfer box. Delivering this power without losses or harsh vibrations requires a sturdy propeller shaft for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 running along the vehicle’s underbody. At the wheels, drive shafts fitted with both inner and outer CV joints accommodate steering angles and suspension travel while maintaining constant velocity power delivery. The xDrive setup in the F06 generation is renowned for rapid torque splitting, but it also places strict demands on the mechanical balance of every component. Even minor play in a CV joint or imbalance in a shaft can impair the system's ability to manage traction smoothly.
Common faults and symptoms
Several distinct symptoms indicate that driveline components on your BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 are nearing the end of their service life. One of the most typical signs is a rhythmic clicking noise on full steering lock at lower speeds, which almost invariably points to a worn outer CV joint for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06, frequently caused by a split CV boot letting in grit and road moisture. If you notice vibrations through the chassis or cabin floor during hard acceleration instead, an inner CV joint for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 may have developed excessive play. Vibrations emerging at motorway speeds, whether on or off the throttle, often stem from an unbalanced prop shaft or a worn centre bearing. Addressing these warning signs quickly is essential, as a compromised driveline part can place undue strain on the transfer box, leading to far costlier repairs.
Common parts to replace on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06
On the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06, certain items face greater wear and tear owing to the car's kerb weight and sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. In our range, you will find the most frequently required parts to restore your drivetrain to full health:
- Drive shaft for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06: We stock 5 different variants to cater specifically to both the front and rear axles.

Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for BMW 6 Series 640 I Xdrive F06
How do I know if my BMW 640i xDrive needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or unusual noises such as clicking or knocking when cornering. If you notice grease on the inside of the wheel rim, a CV boot may have split, which quickly leads to the drive shaft needing replacement.
Does the same CV joint fit both the left and right side of my BMW F06?
This varies depending on position. Often the outer CV joints are identical, but complete drive shafts typically have different lengths for the left and right sides. Always select your car's make, model and engine to verify the exact fitment.
What is the difference between an inner and an outer CV joint?
The outer CV joint is located closest to the wheel and accommodates steering movements, whilst the inner joint sits closest to the gearbox or differential and primarily handles axial movement as the suspension travels up and down.
Why does my BMW 6 Series vibrate during acceleration?
Vibration during acceleration is a classic symptom of a worn inner CV joint. It can also stem from an unbalanced propeller shaft or worn universal joints, especially on xDrive models where drive is distributed to all four wheels.
Are the CV boot and fitting accessories included when I purchase a CV joint?
Yes, when you buy a CV joint from us at CVJoint24, the kit usually includes the CV boot, grease, clamps and any necessary centre bolt or nut required for installation.
How quickly are parts delivered for my BMW 640i?
