Please feel free to add, I might have left something out. I got tired of people asking, and us telling to search, when there is no definative thread



According Dredder, but make sure your number of bolts match 6 or 4 on both ends:
1. 318ti tranny use 318ti driveshaft
2. m3 tranny uses m3 drive shaft
3. Mroadster tranny use mroadster driveshaft.



Total required labor should be around $2500, or $3500 with all optional installed

A wheel tire combo that does NOT give enough traction after this mod is 17X7.5" with Yokohama es100 tires 215 wide. First and second gear can lose traction. 17x9" wheels with 255-40-17 performance tires does fit all around, with 15mm spacers up front, and fender rolling in rear. This provides good dry traction.
