Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 27.5 mm height, 50.0 mm inner diameter, 6-hole pattern, and 96.0 mm pitch circle diameter against the removed part before installation. Confirm the exact BMW model, year, and propshaft position shown in the fitment list, since several vehicles use different front, rear forward, rear rearward, or rear locations.
