BMW Z4 3.0 SI E86

The most common symptoms are clicking noises when cornering, vibrations under acceleration or visible damage to the CV boots. If you notice grease splattered across the inside of the wheel rim, this is a clear sign that a boot has split, which quickly causes the CV joint to wear out.

Yes, in most cases the Z4 Roadster (E85) and Z4 Coupé (E86) share the same drivetrain components if they share the same engine option, such as the 3.0 SI. However, we always recommend selecting your exact make, model and engine to verify fitment.

Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. They can also stem from a degraded guibo (prop shaft flex disc) located between the gearbox and the prop shaft. Inspect these components if vibrations can be felt throughout the entire body shell.

On the BMW Z4 3.0 SI E86, it is often more cost-effective and technically sound to replace the complete drive shaft. This ensures both inner and outer joints are brand new and that the shaft is correctly balanced, saving substantial time during installation.
