Purpose and fitment for BMW F87 M2 N55

The Propshaft BMW F87 M2 N55 Prop Drive Shaft L=1351MM has been developed specifically for the version with a petrol engine and rear-wheel drive. The construction is optimized for the characteristics of the N55 unit, allowing for efficient power transfer during intensive road and track use. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle ensures proper cooperation with the differential and other drivetrain components, without the need for any modifications to factory mounting points.

Construction and role in the drivetrain

This element belongs to the Cardan joints group, responsible for compensating for suspension movements and changes in operating angles between the gearbox and the rear axle. The properly selected shaft length and joint geometry minimize vibrations, reduce stress in the system, and support smooth acceleration. Using an original BMW solution allows for maintaining factory operating parameters, which is crucial for cars with higher power and sports suspension characteristics.

Application in petrol vehicles

The shaft has been prepared for use with the drivetrain of a petrol-powered vehicle, which is significant when configuring the entire powertrain. Operating parameters are adjusted to the loads generated by the N55 unit, making the component perform well in both daily operation and dynamic driving. Maintaining the original drivetrain specification helps reduce the risk of unwanted vibrations and accelerated wear of mating parts.

Condition and service application

The offered propshaft is a used part, making it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, replacing worn components, or restoring a car to its factory configuration after modifications. Choosing an original component from this group allows for compliance with BMW's factory design assumptions, which is particularly important in sports-oriented cars such as the M2.

Integration with other BMW drivetrain components
