As title really.

Doing E46 purple tag rack swap, and decided to go down the E34 UJ route rather than CorsaC etc, presuming it'd be cheap n easy to find E34 ones. Wrong!

None on eBay UK new or used. The E34 in my local scrappy has already had it taken by someone. Got one from a E28 from another local breaker which looks the same but unsure.

Anyone know the part number?

I've seen 32311158347 and 32311150489 both listed as E34 (and various other older BMs) swivel joints. Is either, or both, correct?

Cheers

You only need one e34 uj.
Take the top yoke off the top of the e30 shaft then remove the lower yoke that goes on the rack and join them together. Use the e34/e28 uj on the rack end and the one you've joined at the column end.it's a bit more work but saves using two e34 joints.
