This is the driveshaft center support bearing for BMW E82 135i/1M 6MT, E9X 335i/335xi 6MT, F30 335i/340i 6MT, F32 435i/440i 6MT, and 11/2017+ F8X M3/M4. It replaces BMW part number 26127526632 and 26128615622.

The center support bearings (CSB) joins the two halves of the driveshaft together. There is a sealed set of ball bearings with a rubber mount and frame bolted to the chassis of the car. At some point either the bearings or rubber mount will fail, even under normal use. Symptoms include vibration or a whine/hum noise coming from the center of the car, and an audible clunk especially when pulling away from a stop. These are signs of a failing CSB and you should plan on replacing it soon. The CSB is an inexpensive fix but labor intensive so professional or experienced installation is recommended.

This is a Genuine BMW driveshaft bearing with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
