Vehicle Application and Placement

The driveshaft is designed for installation on the rear right side of the vehicle, which is crucial for maintaining the correct geometry and operation of the BMW i3 I01 drivetrain. Precise fitment to the specific mounting location minimizes the risk of vibrations, noise, and uneven wear of cooperating components.

This part belongs to the Drivetrain Mounts and Brackets group, meaning it is responsible for a stable, mechanical connection between the drivetrain components and the wheel, while maintaining appropriate rigidity and dimensional tolerances.

Technical and Constructional Characteristics

The working diameter D=35MM indicates a specific constructional dimension of the driveshaft, important for selecting compatible cooperating elements such as the hub or mounting parts. The applied profile and geometry of the driveshaft are adapted to the specifics of the BMW i3 electric drive, including its characteristic torque curve.

The tire profile parameter assigned to this item allows for linking the driveshaft with a specific range of wheel configurations, facilitating part selection in catalog systems and minimizing the risk of ordering errors.

Benefits of Using an Original Used Driveshaft

Choosing an original, used driveshaft for the BMW i3 I01 is a solution that preserves the factory fit and drivetrain performance characteristics while optimizing repair costs. Compared to aftermarket replacements of uncertain origin, an original part from the same model line:

• maintains proper alignment with other drivetrain components,
• reduces the risk of incorrect installation due to dimensional differences,
• allows for predictable vehicle behavior during acceleration and engine braking.

Its used condition makes it an attractive option for users seeking a balance between cost and maintaining original constructional specifications.

Selection and Practical Application in Service

When replacing a driveshaft in the BMW i3 I01, it is crucial to match the component to its specific location on the vehicle and the drivetrain configuration. This driveshaft is intended for installation on the right side of the rear axle, which must be considered when planning repairs. In practical service, it is particularly important to:

• verify compatibility with vehicle documentation and parts catalogs,
• inspect the condition of cooperating components (hub, bearings, mountings),
• apply the correct tightening torques according to manufacturer guidelines.

By maintaining the original driveshaft geometry, it is possible to preserve vehicle stability and the proper functioning of assistance systems such as traction control or stability control.
