You also might want to check for excessive play in the u-joints before you take it apart- if the u-joints are shot, replacing the flex disc and center bearing may help but may not remove all of the vibration.
I placed an order with the local BMW dealership Friday for the dust shields and lockring. Boy, they really put it to you in comparison to the prices from Pelican Parts and other vendors... but I thought I'd at least start a relationship with those folks. They smiled when they bent me over!
