Bmw x5 e70 40d 85k miles prop shaft Checked by BMW as QE Recall in June 2014 at 60k miles According to dealer it was all in spec and within limits. Thanks
I've found your video rather useful. Where did you source your drive shaft from? I'm looking at getting an LCI E70 and would rather just find the part and get my local garage to fit it rather than deal with BMW. Been loitering on all the forums to see the horror stories, so it makes sense to do a precautionary replacement even if the quality enhancement was sanctioned for an inspection.
Hi new so you have the video after installing new one? I’ve similar problems in my x6 f16 (2018) but not sure if it’s under normal tolerance.. I’ve even a video to share..
No mate. Don’t have video after it was done. There is small margin for play there but nothing significant mate. After I fitted brand new one it was nice tight and solid.
@@neo61uk thanks for the reply. Looks like theres not enough room to move 4 bolt flange up or down to pull spline out of transfer case. I will have a go tomorrow
@@neo61uk other end is the spline into transfer case so that cant move. Have to move 4 bolt flange and then slide towards front of car. But i gave up early when it didnt really want to budge lol. On a f85, same 4 bolt shaft as whats in this video though.
Jan Bakulo waterpolo.nr.12@gmail.com Hi. No i didnt feel any vibration. Car went in for a gearbox oil service and they have spotted it and reported to me that it can fail anytime soon. This shaft is a part of bmw recall but rather then replacing all of them, they check it and decide there and then if its needed. Check yours and see yourself.
@@OMBR8 oh ok. Think recall in uk is to check and replace only if needed. I know some people had issue with dealers claiming it’s fine and they left it.

Hi there, did you remove anything else to get the shaft out of the car? Thanks
No , maybe some covers that’s all.

@@MR33 defo is mate. Just play about. Think you must drop other end first. Don’t remember now as done couple years ago now.
