Drivetrain for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06
The BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06, also known as the Gran Coupé, combines luxury with high performance, and its drivetrain is a critical assembly for maintaining that dynamic driving experience. As an owner of a 640i with xDrive, you know that power transfer must flow seamlessly between the front and rear axles to handle the strong torque of the six-cylinder engine. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact components to keep your car performing at its best. With nine tailored parts in our range for this specific model variant, we cover your key needs, from drive shafts to propeller shafts. Maintaining the drivetrain on a BMW 6 Series requires precision and components built to withstand the mechanical loads of spirited driving and daily commuting alike.
How the drivetrain is configured on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06
The layout of the drivetrain on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 is technically advanced, delivering effective all-wheel drive while preserving the brand's distinctive road feel. The setup relies on an automatic gearbox feeding power through a central transfer box to both the front and rear axles. To transfer this power without losses or harshness, a robust propeller shaft for the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 runs down the centre of the car. At each wheel, drive shafts fitted with both inner and outer CV joints accommodate steering angles and suspension travel while delivering a smooth flow of power. The xDrive system in the F06 generation is renowned for its rapid torque distribution, but it relies on every driveline component running in perfect balance. Even slight play in a constant velocity joint or an unbalanced prop shaft can compromise how effectively the system manages traction.
Common faults and symptoms
There are several clear warnings that driveline parts are wearing out on your BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06. One of the most typical symptoms is a rhythmic clicking noise on full steering lock at low speeds, which almost always points to a worn outer CV joint on your BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06, often caused by a split CV boot allowing dirt into the bearings. If you notice vibrations through the floorpan or seats under hard acceleration, an inner CV joint on your BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F06 may have developed excessive play. Vibrations felt at higher cruising speeds, whether on or off the throttle, frequently originate from an unbalanced propeller shaft or a degraded centre bearing. Addressing these symptoms promptly is vital, as a faulty driveline component can put unnecessary strain on the transfer box, leading to far more expensive 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 higher wear due to the vehicle's weight and the demands of the all-wheel-drive system. In our range, you will find the most requested parts to restore your drivetrain to full health:

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?
