I saved this post which has PN info.  It's not definite whether this is
correct for the type 5kq.
Elsewhere someone mentioned this bearing costs $70.

For the 4000 quattro and QTC: BMW part # 26  12  1  209  532 is the
drivesaft carrier bearing that works. BTDT.  This is the complete carrier
with rubber, bearing and bracket.  I assume it fits 5kq as well.

Be careful removing the Universal joint. You don't want to lose any needle
bearings or damage them. A source for the U joint would be nice if any of
you know one.
