As above really. I need new driveshafts but i dont fancy paying the rather large amount for them from bmw. Anybody know what the quality is like from the euro car parts ones? It doesn't give a make on the website. :(

I'll be getting some SNR front wheel bearings from ECP but where can i get good quality rear bearings for a decent price?

Cheers :thumb:

Just looking at the prices from gsf... they are alot cheaper than ECP but is the quality actually any good for bearings? I've not had good experiences with them recently!

Rear wheel bearings, try your local bearing shop/distributor.

Local place here, £23 per side for skf.
