NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted February 23, 2019 I need a new rear driveshaft coupling for my new purchase, E87 130i. Looking to do it myself, so I’m ordering parts for it and want to check I’m getting the right bits, if there’s anything I need to be aware of in replacing the coupling and anything else I should do while I’m there. From Real OEM and the kits I’ve seen on fcpeuro I need 4 parts numbered 1,2,3/12 and 4 from here: www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=UD52-EUR-10-2007-E87N-BMW-130i&diagId=26_0218 I’ve found these bits on fcpeuro which match the Realoem part numbers: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-drive-shaft-flex-joint-giubo-meylehd-3141523102hd https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-drive-shaft-flex-joint-nut-26127536563 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-hex-bolt-m10x5510zns3-26117551225 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-drive-shaft-end-bushing-26117526611-1 So am I good to go or do I need anything else?

I was wondering if I should pm you, I think you had done it on your 130i? Cheers for the info. I've got the right parts I hope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted February 24, 2019 before removing the old one just look at where things are as Dan mentioned aline the arrow/ triangles or mark yours before you take it apart. Sure their must be a DIY on u tube or google on it by now . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
