Nick,
had that dilema not far ago. Clicking noise. Hard to find out from where.
Sounded same along whole length of the car. Bit a bulet, removed drive shaft, did
not find anything bad, repaced front CV and central bearing with rubber support
(BMW part, needed some cutting/welding) and sound disappeared for good. I don't
recall why I decided to replace only front CV. Apperently, I found something in
archives saying that front goes bad first most likely.
I don't know technical details but I asked this question and got several replies
advising not to drive without the shaft.
Konstantin.
