m60 Swap Question

[Nygdup]

Looking at doing a m60 swap using the 530i transmission, and after doing a bit of searching I haven't come across any mention of what folks are using for driveshafts. Can someone clue me in what's the "go-to" solution now that this swap has been done so many times?

Thanks, I'm sure to have more questions if this build comes to light.

E36 328i, e30 m3, late e30 325e will all work. You just need a stock length driveshaft that matches the 96/12mm guibo. Same deal as a 24v swap with a ZF.

E36 328 driveshaft is pretty hard to get in Sweden (due to they are wanted by ppl running M50 Turbo in E30) I use a converter coupling together with original driveshaft - bolt on! From 3x96mm M12 to 3x78mm M10. I think revshift makes them in the US.

Would this adapt a 6-speed to an e30 driveshaft? I can't remember the size on those flanges

Nope.

Sorry.. went AWOL for a bit.

Thanks for the info guys. Exactly what I needed.

Don't think there are any 110mm -> 78mm flex disc adapters available from Revshifts.

driveshaft has to be shortened regardless
