BMW 6 Serie 650 I E63

The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or unusual noises from the rear axle. If you spot a split CV boot with leaking grease, there is a high risk that the drive shaft or CV joint has been damaged and requires replacement.

Yes, on the BMW 6 Series 650 i E63 you can often replace the outer or inner CV joint separately, provided the shaft itself remains undamaged. This is often a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire drive shaft assembly.

Vibrations at higher speeds are frequently caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. They can also stem from wear in the inner CV joints, which introduces imbalance into the drivetrain under load.

The centre bearing keeps the prop shaft properly aligned and absorbs vibrations transmitted from the engine and gearbox. If the rubber surrounding the centre bearing perishes or cracks, the propeller shaft can whip, generating severe cabin vibrations and harsh noise.
