2001 325i wagon manual driveshaft length?

[Nevermore]

Can anyone tell me what the driveshaft length is on the 2001 325i Wagon? Is it interchangeable with any sedan manual?

Welcome to the Forum

From memory the Drive shafts are equal length (left and right) but shouldn't be swapped as it changes the direction, they have been designed to take torque which will cause a premature failure 

Manual and Automatic cars I believe used the same length drive shafts, but Diff ratio was different and there may be differences in output flange hole centres. Manual cars may also have thicker drive shafts.

If you check www.realoem.com if you aren't aware, it is an online BMW parts list, put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model. Then search the sections for what you need when you find the part number double click it and it will give any alter numbers or models it was used on.

Hope this helps
