Frequently asked questions about the drivetrain for BMW 7 Serie 730 I IL E38
What are the most common signs of a failing propeller shaft on my BMW E38 730i?
The most common symptoms are vibrations at speeds between 80-120 km/h, clunking noises when changing gear or accelerating, and a grinding noise from underneath the car indicating a worn centre bearing.
Is the propeller shaft different between the BMW 730i and 730iL?
Yes, because the 730iL has a longer wheelbase, the propeller shaft is also longer on this model. It is therefore vital to verify your vehicle's exact specification by choosing your make, model and engine variant when ordering.
Can I replace just the centre bearing or do I need to replace the entire propeller shaft?
You can replace just the centre bearing, but if the prop shaft joints are also worn or the shaft has become unbalanced, it is often more cost-effective and dependable to replace the complete assembly.
How do I make sure I get the correct part for my BMW 7 Serie 730 I IL E38?
By selecting your car's exact make, model and engine in our store, you will find parts tailored specifically to your vehicle's configuration, ensuring the correct length and flange dimensions.
What is a giubo (flex disc) and why is it important for my BMW?
The giubo (or flex disc) is a rubber coupling located between the gearbox and the propeller shaft. It absorbs vibrations and driveline shocks to provide the smooth drive that the BMW 7 Series is renowned for.
