Probably only going to find that remanufactured. The rear drive assembly on the Ti costs about the same to replace. Right at 400$ for each output shaft if you had to buy from the dealer. However, it would be much easier to find the output shaft for a Ti, than the front drive shafts for an E30. Have you checked with diffsonline to see if they have those front shafts used?
If you are going to own a BMW and want the repairs to be cheap you have to find yourself a good and reputable independent mechanic that doesn't charge full retail mark up on the parts. Or, get yourself a BMWCCA membership and find a dealer that gives a good discount for that.
