BMPD ribuilt driveshaft?

[Brian 89 325i]

Ok so i need a new driveshaft, So ive got some options,
1) Buy a new driveshaft for 4-500$
2) Buy a BMPD rebuilt driveshaft that uses replaceable u joints for 4-500$
3) Buy a used one for a 1-200 and save the money for the mega tune up im doing at the end of this month.

A side note, does anyone know how good the BMP driveshaft is? It seems like a really good idea and IIRC their stuff is good quality, and its cheaper than a new one i think. Help me out here. Thanks

I am quite happy with my rebuilt shaft from MesaPerformance (Costa Mesa). Called to order on a Monday and rec'd it on that Wednesday morning. Price was $300 including shipping (2 yrs ago).

I don't know if BMPD does this, but there is a company that is making replaceable u-joints using Nissan units. The Nissan u-joint units are utter junk and they fail often. Get a well known USED or rebuilt one -- as they are usually quality if properly driven. Hell, my driveshaft has 230k on it with a lot of track miles and its original and still in good shape. :)

You can get one that was rebuilt locally for around $250-300. Try Mesa like the man said.

Do not buy a bmp rebulit driveshaft!.....I did, the driveshaft is nice and all but I should have looked around first. With a the core charge it ends up being $750......it took me more than two months to get my $200 core charge money back, even though I sent the old one right away. I've had bad experiences with bmp( worst customer service ever!) :(

WOW, thanks for that info, Im glad i went with MESA. Im driving down there tomarrow to get my shaft. Thanks
