Detailed Description
TrakMotive BM-8020 is a replacement BMW CV axle shaft designed for rear driveline service on a wide range of 1992-2006 BMW models. It supports rear left and rear right applications across BMW 325i, 325Ci, 330Ci, Z3, Z4, 323i, 323Ci, 328i, 328is, and 325is listings, including specific notes such as 2006 325i rear left through 12/05 and 1992-1993 325i rear applications excluding Xi models. This part number is also referenced in BMW axle replacement searches for rear axle shaft service on E36, E46, Z3, and Z4 platforms.
This part cross-references Cardone New 66-9271 and Cardone Reman 60-9271 for the same application. TrakMotive BM-8020 is a direct-fit style replacement for BMW rear axle repair where the original axle has worn joints, damaged boots, or driveline vibration concerns.
What It Helps Fix
- Clicking or popping noises from a worn CV joint
- Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
- Grease leakage caused by a torn or deteriorated boot
- Driveline play from worn inboard or outboard joint components
- ABS-related axle service needs on supported BMW applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear left or rear right position before ordering, since BM-8020 is listed for both positions across different BMW applications. Confirm axle nut thread size, spline count, and ABS ring requirements against the original part before installation. The inboard connection uses a bolt-on design with 6 bolt holes, and the axle nut is specified as M22 x 1.5 with a 32 mm hex head.
For best results, inspect wheel bearings, seals, and mounting hardware condition during axle replacement. Always match the vehicle’s exact year, model, position, and notes, especially on 1992-1995 325i/325is and 1996-2000 328i/328is applications where side and production-date details matter.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive identifies this as a new CV axle shaft and states that its products are manufactured by an ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company. The BM-8020 is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
