Was it just the bolts that secure it to the differential output flange or did the CV joint get damaged? If you're running a medium case diff, you should run e30 halfshafts since the 318ti halfshafts are a bit too long and cause excessive strain on the CV joints, bolts and flanges. Of course this requires ABS equipped e30 halfshafts which will also require shimming the ABS sensors. Make sure you torque the bolts to 100Nm(74 ft-lb) if you're using M10 bolts, 64Nm(47 ft-lb) if you're using M8 bolts. And be sure to use blue loctite.
