How to Replace the Giubo on BMW F10 535i

How to Replace the Giubo on BMW F10 535i | Restoring Power to Your BMW F10 535i | Giubo Replacement Guide | Swapping Out the Giubo on Your BMW F10 535i
In this video we are replacing my dry rotted Giubo with a fresh new unit. Replacing the Giubo on a BMW F10 535i involves removing the old, worn-out flex disc and installing a new one. This part connects the transmission to the driveshaft, so a deteriorating Giubo can lead to drivetrain issues. In the video, you'll see the steps involved in accessing and replacing the Giubo, ensuring smoother power delivery and improved drivability.

Hello i have bmw 120 f20 When i accelerate my car shakes a little bit., when i let the gass off drives normal , im wondering that the gearbox is problem ( automatic ) what do you think ?

[@NETTNETTCLUBVIDEOs]

Great job! Love your videos. Always giving me ideas to work on my F10 :)

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Mosesexperience]

Great video as usual bro, you made it look easy. Lol..Can’t wait to hear the cut outs.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Thanks bro!! Yeah, they sound great! Should have that video out soon, still need to pull the entire exhaust off and finish up the welding. It’s all just tacked right now.

[@EuroAutoEnthusiast]

I really appreciate this video Bro! I think if I saw this I may have considered DIYing this one myself, then again probably not..sub-zero to 30 degree temps currently 🥶 I also had both replaced. Did you happen to inspect both? I will be going through your catalog of videos as I get started on a few more DIYs so let me know if I can be of assistance in the near future. Happy New Year to you and your family and take care 💪🏽💯

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, I inspected both Guibo's and the front Guibo didn't have any issues. Let me know if you have any questions on any DIY's. Happy New Year to you too!

[@tweker69]

With this plate being all the way in the rear would it still cause that vibration or grumbling noise towards the front of the car ?

[@mikimiki195]

👍🏻

[@elvisd6691]

My 2015 535xi has the guibo in the front, by the transfer case. Should the arrows for the bolts that connect the driveshaft point towards the differential? The specs show it as either way works but I’m not really sure. Great video by the way.

[@leotomassetti8434]

You should’ve marked the position of the central bearing more than the guibo, that’s actually the balancing point… For the guibo as far as the arrows point towards a flange you’re good!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I’ll try to remember that for the next one.

[@sanghyeonhan4458]

Thanks for your video. Do I need to replace a bolt when replacing a guibo? I was planning just reuse again.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I reused mine.

[@ridwanbhaimia1693]

Thanks for this video. I have a e87 and I am also getting a vibration have done new shocks, control arms and balanced the car several times still no change in with the vibration. Im so tired of it I've decided to drive it like that till I'm in the mood to sort it out.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, it can been really frustrating.

[@ridwanbhaimia1693]

@JohnsonMotorsports annoyingly, so all you want is for the car to drive smoothly.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@ridwanbhaimia1693 So true!!!

[@robpabon3608]

Great video Grant. Well done. I know its been a year since you made this video but did you ever find the cause of the vibration? Im experiencing a vibration only from 70 to 85 mph. Ive bought new rims and tires and had them road force balanced by several different places. Still have that annoying vibration at 70 to 85 mph..

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

No, I have found the vibration yet. Still working on it.

[@MrLaloman18]

You want to fix that speed vibration? You have replaced whatever you thought it could be to no avail? You will be surprised that it's so simple of a fix it will blow your mind! The fix is you "TYRES".... Yes, your tyres is the issue... If you have low profile tires you MUST HAVE a minimum of 40 psi of air in them, anything lower will cause vibration in certain speeds! I have a 2011 F10 535i M Sport tuned and had 20" low profile rims/tyres and always had them at 40 psi pressure and NEVER had a vibration issue wile driving, not at 70 miles, not at 90 miles not even at 120 mph speeds! 😎

[@Driven_Life]

What did you torque the 3 bolt with nuts too and also the 3 torxs bolt

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I went old school and didn’t use a torque wrench. Rebel without a cause.

[@Mymerguez]

you should replace the drive shaft bearing if you have vibrations when you charge under 2000rpm

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, I may get that additional Giubo and swap out soon.

[@terrysmkim]

You marked it in the wrong place, you have to make it in the flanges of differential side not on the Guibo, pronouncing as “joobo” for balancing purpose. Guibo (joobo) can go in 3 different position/ bolt holes!

[@TCFixerDude]

Hey Grant, nice vid! I'm having some driveline vibration in my F10. Did replacing the guibo fix your vibration issue?

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

No, I’m still having issues, but my differential bushings are shot and I need to make sure my wheel bearings are good too.

[@ralz55]

Hello Grant, wondering if you were able to find the cause? I’m having the same issue at 60mph +…hard accelerating really wakes it up. Wheels, tires and brakes new. Considering going with upgraded rear diff bushings and replacing my guibo as well.

[@AJBless]

@@JohnsonMotorsports I have almost he same car but a 535d. I'm having my guibo replaced tomorrow. I have some vibration issues as well but mostly at idle. My mechanic told me it's a motor mount that needs replaced. I have an annoying vibration noise coming from the lower, left compartment by my left knee. Once again at idle typically. I actually had that compartment replaced because the closing mechanism was worn but it still vibrates and makes a noise.

[@neo9234]

A road force balance and the hub centric sleeves on my after market rims fixed the issue on my car also removing cheap wheel spacers. It's more then likely the wheels. I know people that changed the bushing and still had the vibration at 50-70 bent rim from the inside.

[@95blkmax]

custom turboooooo!!!!! 😀

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah boi!!!!!!!

[@peternijs8981]

Is the quality of the Febi Bilstein giubo good, or is it better to buy an original one?

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

The quality is great, plus you always have the FCP Euro lifetime warranty.

[@RobertoTaylor]

Great video, Grant! Did replacing the Guibo get rid of your driveline vibration? I'm experiencing a driveline vibration as well that seems to be coming from the drive shaft as well, so I'm thinking about replacing this as well. Let me know.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

No, I still have a vibration. I’m looking to swap out my thrust arms next. Hopefully that will solve the problem. I will also look at the differential bushings.

[@AJBless]

I replaced my Guibo because it was starting to tear in a few places. It did NOT stop my vibrations. My mechanic said it’s a motor mount that isn’t bad but it does have a small amount of movement which is common at this mileage. 75,000 miles on 2015 535d.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@AJBless I hope that’s the case. I just bought new motor mounts to be installed when I upgrade the turbo.

[@user-oo5ep4iv9u]

By any chance have you had new tyres fitted? If you have I’d recommend getting them road force balanced. I had a F10 and it made a massive difference

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@user-oo5ep4iv9u Yeah, I plan to road force balance my tires again. I have a new set that haven’t been road forced balanced.

Funny thing, most people completely mispronounce it. Its actually "jyoo-bow". But this is coming from someing driving a Toyota Matrix

No sir. Still vibrating. I will be replacing the engine mounts shortly when I upgrade the turbo. Hopefully that will help.

Hey man please help I got the 535i rear wheel drive but i got thudding near the center console fo you think it's more of the center bearing or the guibo on the rear diff?

Manual or auto? Also tracking vibration since My manual 545i was struck in the rear end. My stick shakes and passenger seat. I’ve done front suspension and all new tires. Now this week doing complete rear suspension as I have play in 1 of the rear wheels. Hoping that takes care of it but sometimes leaning towards drive shaft could be a problem…

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

My car is an auto. Keep me posted on your results.

[@radianm6]

@@JohnsonMotorsports did you notice your passenger seat shaking a little bit? Just praying it’s not drive shaft.

how many GUIBO are there ? i heard from a technican one near the transmission and another near differential in F10 .. is it true ? is yes how can we figure out which one is gone .. is it advisable to change both at the same time ? since i saw u only change one ..

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

There are 2 Guibos. Your technician is right. I inspected the front Guibo and it was in good condition. I would only replace it if it was cracked and worn.

[@musthakahamad]

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

Replacing the front Flex Disc (guibo) that connects to the transmission on the F10 is a bioottch! Do to some big metal piece in the way of you inserting a wrench key in the real of the bolts to loosen them. 🤔

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I’ll keep that in mind. I haven’t tackled my front Giubo yet.

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

If replacing the Guibo on both side and still having clunk vibrations then it must be the whole drive-shaft the needs replacing because it might be that the U joints that attached to the Guibo's are ceased or very loosed and have failed. In most cases u will see reddish dust all over the area indicating U joint failure!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I'll look into that as well. Thanks for the tip.

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

Should've done both guibos instead of just the rear. If the rear has failed surely the front guibo has also failed and mostly likely the center bearing balanced support between both front and reat derive shafts has also failed hence why many still have a thumping when driving off do to the center support failure. You can test if it has failed by just pushing the frint drive shaft up a few times and if you feel it move and hear it hit (thump) then its time to replace it. These F10's come with an aluminum front guibo (flex disc) and BMW highly recommends replacing it with an all rubber one do to high failure! Also you do not need to turn the car on to put it in Neutral position. While you are under the car just go next to the side of the transmission oil pan and you will see a screw. That needs to be screwd up as it will push a lever up and that will put the car in Neutral automatically. Once done unscrew it back to it's original position.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Good information!! Thanks

[@AndreGTunechI]

Hey fam where is the fan relay located? I have a non stop fan when car starts..

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Honestly, I don’t know if there is a fan relay. Pretty sure the electric fan is controlled by the DME. Have you tried the coolant bleed procedure and verified your coolant level?

[@AndreGTunechI]

@@JohnsonMotorsports indeed, What happens if the fan stays at constant speed and never achieve high rpm to cool the coolant? But when the coolant temp sensor is unplugged, you get max rpm from fan. All cooling related fuses have been checked but looks good in condition. Replaced expansion tank, few hoses, water pump, thermostat, temp sensor2x, also few gaskets of the oil cooler and oil housing. 😢

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

What coolant & oil temps are you seeing?

[@AndreGTunechI]

@@JohnsonMotorsports coolant temp gets up to 105+/-1. oil 107+/-2. If i turn off climate control. The fan is also off.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@AndreGTunechI Are you tuned? I think the reason your fan isn’t running on max speeds is because this is still a typical temperature for the N55. I would search the forums to be sure. I am tuned on a MHD sport coolant setup so my coolant and oil temperatures run around 190 to 205*F. I think when I was on the stock setup it would range from 225 - 240*F.
