Nick- the price is the same.
Guys with air bag problems- sorry but I dont have any answers yet.
Gooch- Cool story man
Everyone else- Im pretty sure you know what you are purchasing now, if you want it, lemme know, if not please just move on.
are there any plans on making a version for airbag equipped E30s?
Does the spline count for E36 on the steering column end match an E30 with an airbag? (assuming most E36 and newer BMWs had airbags standard)
If so, can the U joints be interchanged either by you or purchased to make the change myself?
Thanks,
Bryon

Cool...think I found my Christmas present to myself.
Does this add any noticeable noise or vibration? I like stout parts, but if this is something "because race car" I don't want to detract from my daily driver feel...especially when I can just replace the rubber guibo on my stock shaft.1997 Artic Silver M3

For my airbag cabrio I just used two e46 shafts got them for a total of $40 shipped on ebay, cut and modified. On the air bag cars the splines on the steering shaft are more coarse than the non air bag cars. I simply lightly tapped the u joint on (crossthreading the splines). The e46 ujoint splines are the same as on the steering rack so that side easily slides on and off. Because the the steering shafts are designed to telescope in the event of an accident you can easily pull the entire shaft out through the hole in the firewall if you needed to remove it for any reason.Worlds 1st LS powered e30 cabby.

shaft made from two e46 halves. As you can see its fully telescoping. I wanna say the total length of mine once i cut it was around 6''
picture of the air bag steering shaft. You have to cut the end of that guy so just the splines are left.
Agian this is just an option for those of you with air bag cars.Worlds 1st LS powered e30 cabby.
