you would be going faster as the tyre is larger,,although speedos read under anyhow and the amount is minimal from 50-60 profile

OK I've found a diagram and I think the part rasa is referring to is the No 1 on this diagram. I can see it's purpose is to keep the propshaft fixed to the output shaft on gearbox whilst letting the Guibo thing take up the rotational force. I guess it doesn't spin but has to move to allow for the slight movement in the Guibo.
I guess I'll be ordering one then ! yeh thats it,,99% anyway..i watched and helped a little when they did my car,,and when he took the sleeve out,,which was quite tight..it was fine inside the bush,,but for £7 wasnt worth not ordering..

centre bearing is at the rear of the car,,the prop slides through it,,the bush is inside the prop when you split it,,it slots into the prop,,i assume your car will have it

Febi are OEM suppliers to BMW for a fair few parts - they supply BMW with the doughnut and centre support bearing that you need.
If you remove the OEM BMW doughnut and compare it to the Febi one you'll see they're exactly the same, with all the same numbering/lettering for part numbers, except the Febi one has a blank where the BMW logo goes.
In short - can't go wrong with Febi..
But they don't supply OEM for all parts.. For example the rear wheel bearing is made by FAG. You can get Febi/Meyle ones too..im sure it was you who started a thread for the febi parts couple years back,,and to the op... yes the bolts are supposed to be only used once,,your choice,,for £50 i wouldnt risk it,,also my car parts were probably a little dearer as its a 330d,,why buy a bmw and skimp on parts..ps centering bush also,,mine was fine when we took it out,,but again id rather have the part at hand when car is at someones garage,,as the time and space to wait on parts arriving is crap,,especially when sourcing yourself,,different if the garage are getting from a motor factors,,which i rarely do .

get febi for te doughnut,,and did you also get the centering bush£7 and bolts for the doughnut£50 i also bpught from their

id get the rust sorted if planning on keeping it,,will have to cut it out though,,there are some sellers of rear arch metal..ive looked at them but the car is just not worth the outlay now,,had it 5 years and owes me nowt,,done close to 60k miles and it still drives great,,only wear and tear items..although mines a 330d and not petrol,,good luck with it,still one of the best looking cars on the road,,i also own an e90 330d but the e46 still wins on the looks and handling,,bith cars are mapped and fun in different ways,,always liked the golf in mk1 and mk2 guises,,after that they went down hill in my eyes..
-
just done mine few months ago guibo/flex disc,,done centre bearing a year earlier..someone trsacked down that febi were the makers of both,,so i went with them,,and also a centering bush,,well worth replacing that at £7..as if that is goosed and you put it altogether and its still making noises,,also got new bolts for the disc,,they are as much as the dics nearly at £50...buycarparts.co.uk i used,,but i think it maybe just your centre bearing,,while doing that just check your flex disc..
-
probably at a dealers,,they will mot it when it sells,,usual tactics

mine started losing coolant last november,,was waterpump,,had quite a bit of play and a strange sort of noise, but not much,,new pump/belts and a thermostat and coolant,,all fine again..330d 53 plate..also get bmw parts for waterpump and stats
-
deffo not starter motor,,clicking as suggested is not enough voltage getting to starter motor..charge battery to full then go from there,,also maybe test your alternator ..see if its giving out correct voltage..
