I'm after a Prop to fit my 6 speed m3 evo box, i know i need the large flange type like the evo or 328 has but is there any other car that uses the same type as i only need to chop the flange off and weld it to my shorted IS one. :D

Can you not just swap the output flange over?
so take the one off the evo, box and fit a different one?
like it's done on the M30 conversion??
M50 Turbo!!! :o I shall say no more :D

I'm after the cheapest option so somthing like a e34 530 auto would be a nice cheap undesirable prop, if it fitted winkeye

E30 M3
E30 325e (before '87)
E30 324td (maybe 324d also)

E36 328
E36 M3

These all are straight bolt on with 5 speed boxes, though i'd guess you had to shorten them with 6 speeder.

E28 M30 powered(?)
E34 M30 powered(?)
E32 M30 powered(?)

... those might also fit?

If you mean the "medium" sized flange. V8 and V12 have even bigger flanges..
