Drivetrain for BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12
The drivetrain in a BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12 is a technically sophisticated assembly engineered to handle the substantial torque of the powerful N55 engine whilst preserving the car's refined driving dynamics. As the owner of an F12 model equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive, you know that every component in the power transmission must work in absolute harmony to deliver the dynamic experience BMW promises. At CVJoint24, we have curated a specialised range of nine unique items tailored precisely to this specific model variant. It is not simply about replacing a worn part, but about ensuring that the car's complex four-wheel-drive system continues to operate smoothly without unnecessary friction or mechanical losses.
By choosing the correct components from a Swedish driveline specialist, you can be confident that your car's performance and safety remain intact for many kilometres to come. We focus on offering parts that meet or exceed original equipment specifications, which is particularly vital for a car in the 6 Series bracket where drive shafts and joints endure substantial loads under sharp acceleration and cornering.
How the drivetrain is engineered on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12
The design of the drivetrain on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12 centres around the intelligent xDrive system, which demands robust and precise power delivery. From the eight-speed automatic gearbox, power is distributed via a transfer box to both the front and rear axles. Here, a propeller shaft plays a pivotal role in transferring torque smoothly to the differentials. Further out towards the wheels, drive shafts fitted with high-performance joints handle steering angles and suspension travel simultaneously.
Because the F12 chassis sits firmly in BMW's luxury segment, demands for vibration-free running are exceptionally high. Every link in the chain, from the inner joints at the differential to the outer joints at the wheel hubs, is engineered to withstand the stresses of both spirited driving and daily motorway cruising. Understanding this complexity is key to selecting the right spare parts during maintenance. The xDrive system constantly monitors wheel grip and adapts torque distribution, meaning the drive shafts frequently experience rapid torque shifts that demand premium-grade materials in both the steel shafts and the CV boots.
Common faults and symptoms
Spotting drivetrain issues early can save substantial sums in future repair bills. For the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12, the most frequent wear-related symptoms stem from the CV joints or the prop shaft. If you hear a rhythmic clicking noise when cornering, especially under throttle, it is a classic sign of a worn outer CV joint. Vibrations felt through the seat or floorpan during acceleration typically point to a failing inner CV joint or a worn centre bearing on the propeller shaft.
It is equally crucial to inspect the CV boots regularly; a split boot quickly allows road dirt to enter and grease to escape, ruining the joint in short order. On xDrive models, even minor imbalances in the driveshafts can lead to jerky all-wheel-drive operation and disrupt the vehicle's stability systems. Keeping an eye out for these early warnings allows you to resolve issues before they escalate into major failures, which in the worst cases can damage the transfer case or differential.
Common parts to replace on the BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12
When the time comes to renew components, we supply a comprehensive range for your BMW 6 Serie 640 I Xdrive F12. Our inventory includes five different variants of drive shafts, covering requirements for both front and rear axles on the left- and right-hand sides.

What are the most common signs of a failing CV joint on this model?
Common symptoms include clicking noises when taking sharp turns (outer CV joint) or body vibrations during acceleration (inner CV joint).
Do your CV joint kits include everything needed for installation?
Yes, our kits are delivered complete with the CV joint, CV boot, high-quality grease, clamps and any circlips required for a professional replacement.
Is there a difference between drive shafts for xDrive and rear-wheel-drive models?
Yes, xDrive models have dedicated front drive shafts that rear-wheel-drive cars lack, and the rear driveshafts can also differ in both length and dimensions.
How does a failing propeller shaft affect driving in a BMW 6 Series?
A worn propeller shaft or a damaged centre bearing typically causes vibrations that intensify with speed, and in severe cases can result in knocking noises from beneath the centre of the vehicle.
