While I usually suspect the center bearing carrier *first*. It doesn't
much matter. Whenever you replace one of these, it usually makes sense
to replace both. They're both cheap and easy. They are also much more
likely culprits than anything having to do with either the U joint or
the half shafts.

BTW, unless the E30 is different from the E28, if it has an automatic
transmission, it will have no guibo.

P.S.: If you're not familiar with the term, 'guibo' is the flexible
rubber disk (also referred to as a 'flex disk') at the rear end of the
transmission that links the driveshaft to the output flange.
