driveshaft lengths - mostly looking for e30 m42 car

[jakeb]

Does anyone know the lengths of different BMW driveshafts? I really just need the length of the e30 318is shaft but it might be nice to have a thread with all of them in it.

I have two driveshafts here and one is shorter than the other. I know for sure one is from a m42 car but not sure which one.

TIA, jake

Thanks dan

I checked realoem first and most are listed but not the m42 e30

Ok the front half is 34.5 in and rear is 33.5in

Excellent thanks, that is great news. It means the stock e30 driveshaft will work on a 2002 with a m42 and my mounts.
