Hi I have a 01 325xi wagon 5speed and am looking for a reason of why there would be a vibration under the car feels like center to rear of the car. Only when the car is in gear and moving this vibration is present. When just at idle it is fine. So far we have replaced csb, transition mounts and a front axle. Checked the drives haft and wheel bearings. What could it possibly be I'm getting frustrated. Thanks for any info

Does it vibrate only when the throttle is applied? Does it do it when its in gear but coasting?

No increase when throttle is applied. And yes it does when it is in gear coastingOriginally Posted by dhurley34

Did you mark the location of the spline on the driveshaft when you took it apart? It has to go back in the same location as each is balanced to the other.
Also how did the U-Joints look? Checking for play is pretty easy while the driveshaft is out, but can be a bit of a pain installed.
Lastly, how many miles?

we did and u-joints looked fine the noise doesn't increase so I kinda ruled that out and we line the driveshaft up the way it was with the dots. 226k

I agree. Search the front driveshaft.
