    Thud from rear end while sitting still

    Replacing diff bolts and properly torquing reduced the thud.

    The Guibo was in perfect shape when I removed it. It wasn’t torn or shredding like I’ve heard of. Did you take a pic of it or no?

    I don’t have a pic, I did but I think I deleted it. Mine was just worn out, at first the thud was just when I took off in 1st gear, then got progressively worse as time went on, I lifted it up and there was so much play in the guibo. My tranny mounts were pretty much shot also, but the thudding went away as soon as I swapped the guibo.

    Have you swapped to the new diff bolts? BMW updated them as they used to work loose. When your under the car looking at the diff from the rest it’s the 2 top right& left bolts, the 3rd bolt goes at the front of the diff.
