My indy just replaced the giebo/rubber donut in my drive line. Mine was cracked badly and was starting to lose chunks.
I was noticing some driveline vibration. Made a big diifference in smoothness. Also auto shifting seem smoother.

My advice is check yours if you have one. Some e34s do not.

Mine was just changed. I have a good mechanic that looks at my car and finds these things. He's so meticulous, he's priceless.

I dont think just counting the number of bolts you have left counts as a check:D

same here. They told me about it cracking a few months ago. it was in for other issues and i had them fix it. made a lot of difference.

My 530it started vibrating, took a look under and found the guibo was strings with bolts thru it. So i would say keep a eye on it. Luckily i replaced it right away and no damage.

Try looking for a Drive Shaft Flex Joint under Driveshaft section - Lemforder is good.
