    Alternative center support that is sturdier?

    The E32 one will fit the E30 chassis but it is offset (mounting) and wont work correctly, but the e36 center support is much more robust looking at a pic of it, and is in the center of the mounting points. Does anyone know from hearsay or experience a better one than the thin, flimsy ones that you get from say autohausaz? The MTC brand for example.

    bmw dealer supplied center support for driveshafts seem to live the longest; cost is high though in compared to many inexpensive aftermarket.

      Plenty of people use the stock E30 one without issues at well above stock power. If yours is continuously failing, it is probably a symptom of another issue, and not the cause.

      Also, I think the switch to the offset CSB was 09/1987, or so says RealOEM, so if your car is later than that, you should be looking to keep the offset the same.

        I have done the hack approach by using
        Weatherstrip adhesive to attach some rubber vacuum hose to the cavity to reinforce it . Hasn't failed yet....
