BMW E46 M3 Driveshaft Replacement DIY (2001-2006 BMW E46 M3)

►Driveshafts have several components that will all wear over time. Some can last forever, while those in BMWs will eventually need replacing. In the E46's case, the center support bearing is usually the first piece to go, leaving you with clunks and bangs as you drive along. If left long enough, the drive shaft can break and damage the car's underside.

In this video, Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Expert, replaces a drive shaft on a BMW E46 M3.
