lol yea steve your honestly better off going with my unit. Getting mine + replacing CSB (you should anyways just because its out and stupid not to) would be much cheaper than a new unit
Ill give it to you for $50 + gas to meet you half way (I am in Charlotte now) __________________ -Jeff

What BMW lists as a U-joint is what everyone else calls the flex disc or guibo. | No man, you got me all wrong here  . I'm saying that the universal joint that bolts to the differential can't cost more than like $30 bucks to make. BMW for some reason doesn't offer this part separately so your are stuck buying a $800.00 drive shaft. That sucks dude! __________________ Alpine Weiß 1995 318ti

Thanks everyone. I realize I could use the rear half of a used drive shaft.
I'm going with a rebuilt. It will come with a new flex disc, center bearing and balanced.
If it was just a DD I wouldn't care, but it sees the track a few times a year and I don't want to take any chances. __________________ ...steven
