My car is having the same problem, with vibrations during accelaration. Changed most of the bushes and couplings but still there. Next move to change the long shaft. Anybody knows how much a new one would cost? and if I'm to install a used one, would it be reliable? input much appreciated.
Cheers

No offence. But how is this remark constructive?? Just adds to all the junk we have to sieve through when reading and looking for solutions.
Shouldn't the forum have some policy to post only constructive suggestions when dealing with technical issues rather than use up bandwith with such comments.
I too am guilty of it here by responding to the comment above, but just had to since I find so, so many unnecessary comments in tech forums.
rubes72, don't you think the person with the vibration problem already knows how shitty it is to have a problem with his UDM?
No offence godflesh, but if a forum is restrict to purely technical chat, it would be very boring. As it is this forum is not exactly very lively. Some side comments like rubes72 is welcome - to build a community spirit - for that is what this is, a community of friends with common interests, not just a technical problem and solution bulletin board. For that you can chat with BMW technical dept.
2 cents, yes according to the ppl there servicng comprises of changing bearings & also balancing the long shaft.....

took the car on friday evening after servicing the long shaft.....according to them just need to do balancing only, bearing no need to change.
After effect, rides minus vibrations....& yes much better...but my car stil got rumbling sound a bit...suspect now tyre lah...but as far as the balancing is concern....satisfied for the price paid and the result.....pocket cost....< RM 200/= but whole day job....
