I think I had this on my 2005 330i. Had a rattle of sorts coming from under the centre console, especially when the engine was at low revs but under load eg hill start

Turned out to be a loose centre bearing mount - Indy garage tightened it up and all good since

Special grease?? If it is noisy I would assume the shaft is u/s by now!

Sure they didn't say drive shaft?
That might make more sense...
