Started off as a 316i, now got an M52 with a ZF 5 Speed and I’ve got a shortened 328i prop shaft.

I’ve read you can use the 328i front and e30 rear with the e30 centre bearing (some people say to rotate it?)

Maybe it’s been a long day but I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do next? Pictures of what I have are attached, any help welcome!

You need a complete e36 328i manual propshaft and an E30 centre mounting suitable for your car

Think I’ve gotcha Dan…

So replace the current rear section (e30) with a e36 328i rear section and e30 centre to match my chassis.

Will I still have to use my shortened e36 328i front section or will the standard e36 328i front section fit?

Not sure why it would be shortened, E36 328i prop is the correct length
