    Must be an e90. Turn off traction control and continue to drive but be careful.

    It is a E92 320d. Do you know what is wrong?

    More than likely a damaged abs ring on 1 of the drive shafts.

    Upon assessment today it appears the car has two rear warped drive-shafts. Crazy quote for repair.

    You can replace the a.b.s rings on there own. Although they don't always work out if the shaft is too pitted.
