BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Transmission
Operation: Transmission support bearing replacement

In cars equipped with rear-wheel drive, like almost all BMWs, there is a drive shaft that connects the gearbox to the rear differential and is equipped with a central support with a bearing: it is quite common for this support to get damaged ; to be able to replace it, it is therefore necessary to disassemble the transmission, loosen the ring nut that holds the two elements of the shaft together, split it and remove the spacer bush; at this point it is sufficient to remove the seeger ring that holds the support in position to replace it, paying attention to the cup spring.
