Car parts and drivetrain components for BMW Z3 Roadster 1.9 I. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common symptoms are body vibrations during acceleration and a thumping noise from the transmission tunnel. This is usually caused by the rubber mount surrounding the centre bearing cracking or deteriorating over time.
In many cases, replacing just the centre bearing is sufficient if the vibrations are caused by its rubber mounting. However, if the propeller shaft's universal joints are worn or the shaft is out of balance, replacing the complete propeller shaft is recommended.
No, typically they do not. The drivetrain on the 1.9 I is specific to the four-cylinder engine and differs in dimensions and length compared to the six-cylinder models. Always select your exact make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct part.
Our fitment guarantee means that if you choose your car's correct make, model and engine and order the recommended part, we guarantee it will fit your vehicle. In the unlikely event that it does not fit, we will help you find the right part at no extra charge.
We dispatch all in-stock items quickly from our central warehouse. If you place your order in good time, your parts are normally dispatched the very same day so you can start your repair without delay.
If vibrations persist despite properly balanced wheels, the cause is often in the drivetrain. On a BMW Z3, a worn centre bearing or an unbalanced prop shaft are very common causes of vibrations felt throughout the entire car.
