Default e36 m3 4door drive shaft into ti?

i bought the drive shaft i was looking for after a couple months off looking for it..got it off a bfc member for 100 w less than 20k rebuilt by vac motorsports

its balanced and ready to go...no my question is if it will fit from trans to diff..

so i dont have to pay another 100-200 to get the front m3 +ti rear balanced.

if anyone can help i would apreciate it a bunch
thanks
chris

More info would be great,

A- Does you car have a swap?
B- If A=Yes then what type of swap (engine and transmission do you have)
C-is the driveshaft you purchased for a 5 speed manual or auto?
D- Do you have oem diff or swap diff?

That sounds like a nice setup. You should be good if you purchased the right year driveshaft. You can verify this by searching the last 7 digits of your engine vin.
