    Drive Line Upgrades - Missing anything?

    I have a little over 132,xxx miles on my 325i and there are a few problems I need to address.

    So far:

    New flex disc (guibo) - OEM
    Flex Disc bolts/locking nuts
    Tranny mounts - UUC black bushings with enforcers
    Center Bearing

    All-in-all around $200, and I'm hoping this will clear up some of the issues I've been having with acceration/shifting. I'm just wondering if there is anything else I should do while I've got the car up on the stands for that long (IE: changing the tranny fluid, simple stuff like that?)

    Thanks.

    In my expirence with BMW driveshafts, once they come apart for repair they are never the came again.

    Do what i did, just get a rebuilt driveshaft. Mine cost me $400 from a local driveline shop and it came with a new BMW guibo, center bearing, all balanced and a 5yr warranty.

    and if that turbo in ur sig is gonna be under ur hood soon, i would get a aftermarket poly guibo.

    Have you checked your engine mounts? A bad engine mount can cause driveline problems also.

    You have to lift up the engine (or try) to see if the mounts have seperated.

    NOT with that company any more.

    That turbo was stolen with my last car. I have been looking at FI for my 325 though, so I'll look into the stronger materials.
