Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for BMW X5 M 50 D E70
How do I know if my BMW X5 M 50 D E70 needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are vibrations through the car under acceleration or clicking noises when taking sharp turns. If you notice vibrations increasing with speed or load, it is often an inner CV joint or the drive shaft itself that has worn out.
Do parts from a standard X5 E70 fit an M 50 D?
Not always. The M 50 D produces significantly higher torque and frequently uses reinforced drivetrain components. It is therefore crucial to select your vehicle by make, model and engine to ensure you get parts engineered specifically for the M Performance model.
What are the symptoms of a failing propeller shaft on this model?
A worn propeller shaft or a failing centre bearing typically creates a humming noise or vibrations felt throughout the bodywork, especially at speeds between 80 and 120 km/h. You might also hear clunking sounds when engaging a gear or coming off the throttle.
Are CV boots included when I buy a CV joint from you?
Yes, our CV joint kits are supplied as complete assemblies. This means you receive the CV joint, a tailored CV boot, grease, clamps, and any circlips or bolts required for installation.
Why is it important to replace a split CV boot immediately?
The boot protects the CV joint from dirt, road salt and water while retaining the lubricating grease. If the boot splits, contaminants will quickly ruin the joint, leading to a much more costly replacement of the entire joint or driveshaft.
What does your fitment guarantee mean for BMW owners?
Our fitment guarantee means that when you select your vehicle by make, model and engine, we guarantee the part will be technically correct for your car. In the unlikely event that something does not match, we will help you find the right part without any hassle.
