In general BMW driveline's are of the two-piece design. This design is intended to completely eliminate natural frequency vibrations.  The problem with this design of universal joint is that repair is difficult, relatively expensive and prone to early failure.  And front driveline run out, the most common BMW driveline design is that the front driveline is centered directly off the transmission main shaft. This  design causes BMW drivelines to rotate with the smallest amount of radial run-out possible. Additionally the rear part of a BMW driveline arecentered with the next most accurate means, a precision piloted fit flange.

As with and high speed rotating mechanism when parts wear or fail, serious vibrations can start small and build to cause sever damage to other drivetrain related components.  An updated designed universal joint is manufactured to exacting specifications, which specifically eliminates the root cause of early BMW u-joint/driveline failure. We can enhancing the comfort of your BMW's ride.

Worn Flex Disc can  cause vibrations

Between the transmission output shaft and the driveline, there is a flexible coupler (Flex Disc) that joins the two together.  This rubber, reinforced coupler isolates vibration from the rest of the drivetrain, while transferring power from the engine and transmission to the rear differential and wheels.  As the flex disc ages, and is exposed to the elements, these discs can develop cracks and begin to disintegrate.  The rubber shell is reinforced with rope cords on the inside, and it is not uncommon to see one completely fall apart.  It is recommended that you inspect this rubber joint about every 10,000 miles or so (about once a year) to make sure that it still looks okay.  If it fails, it does have the potential to leave you stranded.

Driveline Failure symptoms BMW

New or strange noises from under the vehicle are a symptom of a problem with the driveline. These noises can emulate from the following:

Failure of Transmission or T-Case rear bushing or driveline center support bearing will facilitate driveline malfunction. driveline U-joints excessive wear or failing will interfere with the driveline’s ability to rotate properly. This will cause; rattling, clunking, scraping, or even squeaking sounds.

U-joints might be operating dry of lubrication may also produce a squeaking noise at lower speeds. Clicking or knocking sounds specifically can indicate a faulty CV joint. Any noises such as these are an indicator that your vehicle is ready for maintenance. Problems with turning the vehicle is another likely sign of a bad driveline. A broken driveline can prevent wheels from turning properly, giving you trouble when trying to make turns. This issue limits your overall control of the truck. These issues can prevent you from driving the truck correctly.

The essential function of your driveline is always to transmit energy from a point (rear of transmission or transfer case to another point with constant action. In construction, trucks and s, the drivetrain was created to send torque through angles from your transmission for the axle (or auxiliary transmission). The driveline must go through

constantly changing general viewpoints (angles) in the middle the transmission and axle. It must also be able to transform size while transmitting torque (by way of the slide yoke). rides suspended by springs inside an unusual, hovering motion. This indicates the driveline must have the capacity to broaden, change and contact working perspectives when experiencing protrusions or depressions. This is often accomplished through common joint parts, which permit the driveline to be used at divergent angles, in addition to slip yokes, which allow contraction or growth to happen.
