Would a 4 bolt e46 m3 driveshaft work?

No, it's over an inch shorter. You can look up the lengths of the drive shafts on realoem.com, bmwfans.info, etc...

You need something 1275-1285mm with a 4 bolt rear flange and a 96mm diameter / 12mm bole hole flex disc. e36 328i, e30 m3, and 5/86+ 325e (they can be hit or miss...) should work. I don't know of any others.

will a Z3 e36 328 driveshaft work?
I found 1 or 2 there Z3 with the 328 motor and manual trans and the sticker on the shaft it self say E36?
are the lengths the same?

wow looks like it, but thankfully it's just chipped paint.

Is that a crack I see in the countersink for the middle hole? It's right in the middle of the small patch of glare from the light (flash?)

How much of a difference does the weighted rod make?

tons... this linked with an AKG it makes our stock trans box feel and shift like racing boxes...

IF you get the right weight the throw is firm but effortless...

So I was able thankfully to save my weighted shift rod...

It looks bad in the picture it got munched hard sadly but thankfully I was able to repair it to it's splendid glory.. Out of all the carnage this was the one thing that bothered me the most... I dreaded making another one and I was so proud of it when I first built it..

I have a 328i auto drive shaft local think that would work?
Garagetastic stuff is good but I prefer to do it myself, I had hoped my thread reflected that :)

Hey slappy, how many pieces do you see here:

There appears to be slightly more than one piece, although my comment was mainly directed at monkey's potential desire for a one piece shaft.

Says the guy who hasn't even run this part to know if it works well.



There are some very good reasons to stick with a two piece shaft as bmw used.

I'd just lay down the cash and get the @Garagistic shaft, and be able to get the right flanges so you don't have to use the adapter guibos....
