If it's not one thing.. it's another. Cardan shaft next..

Started getting the thumping under the console on hard acceleration, and rather lumpy acceleration at all times. Talked to my mechanic, we didn't even bother putting it on the lift.. the current shaft has 83,000 miles on it, which seems to be better than most people experience.

 

Ordered a new shaft from Vertex. Mechanic likes their shafts, said he's installed 3 of them and had no comebacks. So - the P!G gets to sit in the driveway until I get the shaft (pun intentional) - guess I just have to ride the real BMW until then (which I've been doing anyway.. the bike gets way more miles put on it than all the cars combined.)

I just sent mine to Belgium with a fresh boot and bearing on it that I couldn't balance. I would have GIVEN it to you. Coloradodriveshaft or Vertex is the way to go. I chose Vertex and sold the core for $300.
