Even though its a little too late, I've already sent out my swap driveshaft to-be (E28 front/E30 rear) for new U-joints and balancing but I still wanted to ask if it should it work with funkmastas B34 mounts the Getrag 260?
I measured the e30 and e28 front halves and the e28 front half is a few mm longer but I didn't think it would be major.
I also noticed something else that should be taken into account when doing driveshaft measuring..The trans output flange. The e28 output shaft stuck out an inch or 2 while the e34 flange was "normal". I sold my e28 transmission but I have a picture. I will take a pic of my e34 flange for comparison.
E28 G260 flange:

The e34 flange is much more closer to the rear to the transmission and doesn't stick out that far which i would think would play an important role in driveshaft selection.
