Please call 1.866.455.6622 to order.  Thank You.

 

NOTE:  Flex Disc Guibo is not included. 

We carry SGF brand Flex Disc, this is the OEM supplier to BMW.  This is the ONLY brand that is OEM.  Look at any OEM flex disc and you will find the letters SGF.  ALL of the other brands are aftermarket and in our opinion - NOT nearly as good.  Some of the aftermarket flex disc have shredded and then it damages the front of the driveshaft.  We can not warranty damage caused by Non SGF flex disc. 

We require that a BMW brand Flex Disc or SGF brand flex disc be installed for any warranty consideration.

 

WARNING!

CHEAP DRIVESHAFTS

Please be aware of cheap  driveshafts.  We can easily reduce our price by $20 to $40 by using lower quality U- Joints and other driveshaft components.

We use the very best possible components available. 

We have been in business for over 50 years.

We have a good reputation and we will not sell you a potential problem just to make a few bucks more or offer a cheaper price.

Our pricing is fair and reasonable for the high level of quality driveshaft we provide.

Remember the "to good to be true" story?

 

Warranty:  We offer a 1 year unlimited mileage guarantee, the same as a new BMW driveshaft from the dealer.

Flex Disc (Guibo) is not included in pricing.  See Service notes on Flex Disc below.

 Service Suggestion:  Transmission Mounts

 Service Note:  We recommend changing the transmission mounts on BMW when servicing the driveshaft.  (We do not sell them).  The trans mounts are at the rear and bottom of trans.  They tend to collapse or disintegrate over time and this leads to trans sitting lower than normal.  This creates bad alignment of trans to driveshaft.  If you have a flex disc that is torn up, you MUST change the mounts as that indicates a bad alignment.  They are inexpensive at typically $10 or less per mount.  (2 required).   We suggest www.autohausaz.com for the mounts.  We use them and we always get BMW OE quality mounts.

 

FLEX DISC (Guibo) SERVICE NOTES:

There is a right way to install  the flex disc.  On the rim of the disc there are alternating triangular arrows that point to each edge of the flex disc.  This arrow is where the disc should bolt up to the metal lobe of the driveshaft and the transmission flange.  The photo below shows a disc that is NOT installed correctly.  This can cause vibration and noise issues.  BE SURE YOU CHECK THIS!
