Drive shafts

[Paddy]

I’ve got a 2008 320d m sport with a stage 2 remap and it seems like the drive shafts can’t handle it as when I try keep the back out they break at the joints. I’ve done 2 now but was thinking of upgrading them, does anyone know if m3 drive shafts fit snd will be better?

Hi Paddy 

Welcome to the Forum

Drifter huh !! Crazy boy 

Short answer your question in a word NO

According to www.realoem.com (BMW online parts list) 

the 320d output shafts are L 86mm x D 25mm 

330d output shafts L 94mm x D 27mm

M3 output shafts L 102mm x D 44mm 

You may be better searching the specialist dismantlers for an M3 complete axel assembly or finding an engineering shop who could run up some M3 spec shafts 86mm long

Good Luck

Dave
