So all done with engine, then error

[CorvallisBMW]

A standard 325i 5-speed shaft should work for you.

Clean swap! Looks beautiful under there.

G260, It does not have a removable bell housing.

Is it M30 G260 or G265?

I need the fully compressed total length of 55.5" to 55.75". Center bearing is 23.25" from the face of the flex disk. Anyone know if the M20 driveshaft has the large flange on the front, or does it use the same one as the M42. My M42 front half was way to long, like by 4" or so, it also has the smaller flange that won't work.

Thanks

Get a m20 driveshaft so you don't have to cut it. It slides back a ton.

So I wrapped up yesterday and it fired up in about 10 sec. Idle's good, charging good, oil pressure good. Loud as hell with open pipes.

Needless to say I was impressed! First try. Then slapped in. The 3.46 LSD. The moved to the drive shaft.

This is where the error occurred. Have 325e front half, my 318i rear half. The dam thing is to long!!!!

I am using position 3. Now I have to have to driveshaft shortened and balanced. Nickel and dimed I tell you!!

Might just have the whole thing rebuilt and be done with it.

Here is a link to the startup video. Crappy I know. I was just to excited to care...
