Running without a front driveshaft

Installations GTH

Hey everyone,

I had my E91 up on a lift and the front u-joint on the front driveshaft was completely shot, lucky it didn't explode and damage anything.

So I removed it temporarily, I have read that it is OK to drive without it.

Anyone else done it?

Thanks!
 
Yep, I am running RWD on summer and AWD on winter.. no codes and no issue

Those driveshafts are very problematic and a pretty serious issue on X5s.. They'll snap at the yoke, sheer off and most likely punch a hole in the trans pan if you're lucky...

After failure.

I got lucky, it was bad but had yet to break, I sent it to get new u joints but it was so damaged I will have to get another...

Seems they are all the same, auto or manual all years E90 so that's a good thing
