91 850i, I witnessed a black rubber coupling at the output of the gearbox - I called it a u-joint, dearler service rep called it a Hardy Disc. Symtoms were 'crackling metal' noise when starting to move from dead stop - forward or reverse. Dealer claims there are none in the USA - could it be that dealer service is mixed up?


: Strange.. no Hardy disc on my 850i! So first, is it a 850i? My frind had to chnge the Hardy disc on his M5, so thet was one of the first things i checked when i got my 850, but there is just a normal Polhem joint(i think that's what they are called? same type as on any american car). The Hardy disc should be a black rubber piece where the driveshaft connects to the gearbox.

: : : How many miles are on your car? Just curious. Never heard of one of these going out on an 850.
