Where to get MY driveshaft rebuilt?

[ChaseN]

Anyone know of a decent shop that I can send my M3's driveshaft out to get rebuilt? I want mine done because the front half is cut to a custom length already to fit the 6-speed, and would like it to be balanced as such during the rebuild process. Anybody have any successful experience with a shop local to them?

I've looked at the off the shelf offerings, and nothing really stands out - I'd have to buy a rebuilt DS, have the front cut, then have it rebalanced...plus I wouldn't get the core charge back because mine is modified. Not to mention, most of these guys want $400+ for a rebuilt driveshaft, and I can get one brand new from BMW for under $600...

Have you contacted Portland Driveline?

Yeah, contact DriveLine Services of Portland. I'm pretty susre that they will rebuilt your drive shaft for you.

I have 2 of theirs, both have been flawless.

I have dealt with them several times on Domestic cars, re-balancing and a custom fit for my V8/TH400 Astro, all have been excellent.

Just talked to them, they don't actually rebuild customer's shafts, they'd have to make me one custom to my length...said it'd be about $525 due to the custom length, thats a bit spendy. Still looking for somewhere that will rebuild the shaft I already have cut to length.

Another thing they mentioned that concerns me is that they use greasable U-joints. Now the forward U-joint on an e30 is a serious PITA to get to, that doesn't sound like something I'd be wanting to do every 10k or so...

EDIT: Just talked to these guys: http://driveshaftmasters.com and they said they'd rebuild my shaft for $290. Anyone have any experience with them?
