Ok thanks! I wonder because i think the M50 ended up just a tiny bit lower than the M20 but the diff might be placed higher on the pan so it might be pretty much the same.
With the car in the air the axle angles just a little bit up on the outside (maybe 5 degs or so) but i doubt the springs will compress much with the GC setup so the angle shouldn't be a problem i hope!
Also tested to fully compress the suspension without the spring in place and i think the axle misses the frame with like a hair :D
Edit: now with the outer CV machined (material was hard as f*ck!) and fully seated in the wheel bearing it looks like the axle can move atleast 10mm so its pretty good lenght wise!E30 325ix M50 turbo 7 spd DCT 4wd 840awhp @ 31 psi.

It wasnt problem for them couse they have all the right machines etc but they were really hard and they had to go slow they said :)
One issue I found out after was that it got pretty thin at a spot or two, haven't measured it very precise yet but its like 4mm thick at the thinnest spot around where the ABS ring goes. Hope it won't break :P
Its probably smarter to take material off the inside of the ABS ring to make it fit rather than the CV.
I took three of my best looking CVs and gave them (good to have a machined spare) and it cost around 70 $ for everything.E30 325ix M50 turbo 7 spd DCT 4wd 840awhp @ 31 psi.
