Had the same intermittent noise......replaced inner and outer CVs.....noise gone.

Makes sense. Even the turn braking grind. Which drive shafts did you go with?

I went with genuine parts.......cost me AU$1300 plus AU$56 for the seal here in Sydney.

I've always struggled to fit aftermarket parts in my X5.......so I've always buy NEW and GENUINE at my local BMW parts store.

Every now and then I look overseas for E53 replacement parts....a lot cheaper even if you factor shipping.
