BMW 7 Serie 750 IIL V12 E32

No, the propeller shaft for the 750iL is longer than that for the standard 750i model due to the extended wheelbase (E32/2). It is essential to select the correct length to ensure proper fitment.

The most common symptoms are vibrations felt through the bodywork, often beneath the centre console, under acceleration or at speeds between 40 and 80 km/h. A whining or grinding noise may also occur if the bearing itself has failed.

You can often replace just the centre bearing if the universal joints on the prop shaft are otherwise in good condition and the shaft remains balanced. If there is play in the joints or the shaft has suffered impact damage, replacing the complete propeller shaft is recommended.

The most reliable method is to filter by your car's exact make, model and engine variant in our online shop. We have dedicated technical data for the BMW 7 Series 750 IIL V12 E32 to ensure you receive parts with the correct dimensions and specifications.

Our centre bearings are supplied as complete units with the bearing pre-installed in its mounting bracket. We do, however, recommend inspecting the flexible prop shaft coupling (guibo) and bolts during installation for optimal results.

Because the 750iL features an exceptionally long propeller shaft paired with a powerful V12 engine, even minor imbalances can generate severe vibrations. Over time, these can compromise ride comfort and cause serious damage to the gearbox and differential.
