HD CHROMOLY REAR CV AXLE KIT for BMW M5 X-Drive F90 4.4L V8 Base, Competition , CS

Pair with HD REAR CARBON FIBER DRIVESHAFT

Upgrade the driveline of your high-performance BMW with the HD Chromoly Rear CV Axle Kit for BMW M5 X-Drive F90 4.4L V8 Base, Competition, and CS models. Designed specifically for the legendary twin-turbocharged S63-powered F90 platform, this heavy-duty axle package is engineered to handle extreme horsepower, hard launches, drag racing, roll racing, track abuse, and aggressive street driving while maintaining exceptional reliability.

The factory rear CV axles on the BMW F90 M5 are adequate for stock power levels, but once horsepower and torque begin to increase through ECU tuning, upgraded turbochargers, ethanol fuel systems, downpipes, and transmission tuning, the OEM axles become a known weak point in the drivetrain. The EC Driveline HD Chromoly Rear CV Axle Kit provides a substantial increase in strength and durability, giving enthusiasts the confidence to push their BMW M5 to the limit.

Manufactured using premium-grade heat-treated chromoly steel axle bars, heavy-duty CV joints, and precision-machined components, this axle kit is built to withstand the tremendous torque generated by modified F90 M5 applications. Whether you’re launching your BMW M5 Competition at the drag strip, competing in roll racing events, or enjoying spirited driving on the street, these upgraded rear axles help reduce the risk of axle failure and drivetrain damage.

 

Key Feature Differences
  • Horsepower Rating: Outlaw axles are built to handle massive output (often 1,200+ horsepower), while Renegades are typically designed for 750+ HP ranges. 
  • CV Joint Grease: Outlaw axles use a premium, high-flash-point grease that resists thermal breakdown under intense friction and extreme angles. 
  • Fasteners: Outlaw axles upgrade the standard 12.9 socket head bolts to 12-point ARP fasteners for superior clamping force and joint strength. 
  • Surface Treatment: Outlaw axles feature a specialized isotropic surface finish that reduces rolling resistance, friction, and wear compared to the standard finish on Renegades.

Renegade vs Outlaw

 

Ths Renegade Axles are the tried and true axle design that has become the standard in performance half-shafts. The Renegade axle has waivered very little from its roots some 15 years ago. Advancements in materials, heat-treat processes and machining have only improved their efficiency and capabilities. It is hard to argue with the Renegade’s pedigree for strength and overall value.

The Outlaw Axles boast unparalleled performance and durability even in the most extreme driving environments. The Outlaw axles use a unique and uniform surface treatment that helps cut down on rolling resistance and wear. This is helpful in just about every application as CV’s will almost always be functioning at some angle. Additionally, the CV ball bearings are constantly traveling back and forth in the CV housing every rotation of the axle. That equates to a lot of work and, in turn a lot of heat production. Ultimately, the Outlaw CV is more efficient, which means more energy from the engine to the tires with less effort. As a byproduct, we see less heat because of the decreased rolling resistance and this translates to longer CV life.

Heat and friction will gradually break down CV grease until it no longer functions as a lubricant. The Outlaw axles also get a top-of-the-line grease, which has a higher heat flash point and superior lubrication qualities in comparison to what is used in the Renegade axles.

The CV to stub joint is a critical mating point that relies solely on clamping force to hold the stub in place relative to the CV and axle bar. The Renegade axles get a standard 12.9 socket headed cap screw, where the Outlaw axles get a 12-point ARP fastener to help with overall strength and clamping force.
