What this part does
The driveshaft transmits rotational power from the transmission or transfer case to the differential. In the BMW xDrive system, it is a critical component for delivering torque to the drive wheels and maintaining all-wheel-drive traction. When the universal joints or splines on the driveshaft begin to fail, the vehicle typically develops heavy vibrations under acceleration, a high-frequency shudder at highway speeds, or audible clunking noises when shifting between drive and reverse. Complete failure will result in a loss of propulsion and can cause severe collateral damage to the transfer case, exhaust, or undercarriage components.

Before you order
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, as rear-wheel-drive variants of the 6 Series utilize completely different shaft lengths and mounting flanges. Match the 11-digit or 7-digit part number 7631359-02 to the sticker on your original unit.
It is highly recommended to inspect the flex disc (guibo) and the center support bearing when replacing this assembly. Because the driveshaft must be completely removed to access these parts, installing new rubber isolation components at the same time prevents future labor costs. Always check the transfer case output flange splines for excessive wear before bolting the replacement shaft into place.
