I didn't need to do it on mine. AFAIK, it's only applicable to 325i (& M3??).

No!
If it is a 325i, it does need the bend - as far as I'm aware. Mine's a 320i.

..... That's right! Like I said though, only as far as I'm aware, I've never done a 325i.
If I'm wrong, someone will correct me I'm sure.

Have a look under the car and see if there is a vibration damper on the prop ... if there is you will need to bend it.
IIRC not all 325's have this damper ..

just finished mine had the damper so yes i had to bend the rod but all done now and what a change (get it) just taken the "scenic" route back from my mates workshop and i'm suprised at how changing one small part can make the car feel so different.thanks again for the advice guys i'm off for another play......
