Propshaft Hanger+Bearing ID30mm OD55mm (BMW 3 Series E36 / E46 / 5 Series E39 / Z3) is a critical mechanical component designed to support and stabilize the propshaft assembly in specified BMW models. It fits the 3 Series E36 and E46, 5 Series E39, and Z3, serving as a central mounting point that reduces vibrations and maintains alignment during rotation.

This hanger bearing holds the propshaft securely in place, ensuring smooth transmission of power from the engine to the rear wheels. When inspecting your existing part, pay attention to the inner diameter (ID 30mm) and outer diameter (OD 55mm) dimensions to confirm compatibility. Such measurements are vital for the part’s correct seating and function within the driveshaft system.

Replacing a worn or damaged hanger bearing helps prevent drivetrain noises, vibrations, and premature wear on other drivetrain components. Comparison with your old unit’s profile and size will guide your buying decision. If unsure about matching or fitment, consulting technical support or submitting a request for parts is advisable.

  • Fits BMW 3 Series E36, E46, 5 Series E39, and Z3 models
  • Inner diameter 30mm, outer diameter 55mm
  • Supports and stabilizes the propshaft assembly
