Driveshafts

[Rallyprep_UK]

I am told all e30 driveshafts are the same apart from abs/non abs !?

I found this strange but thought at least disc and drum types would be different ???

This is true

[Rallyprep_UK]

obviously m3 must differ too ?!

[Rallyprep_UK]

thanks Dan

I thought drive shafts where the same but it was the CV joints that varied

[Rallyprep_UK]

good point, obviously I was refering to the interchangability of complete shafts.

The driveshafts have different parts numbers on bmwfan.info for different engine sizes.

Are the 325i not thicker.

[Rallyprep_UK]

That is what I thought, I want the strong ones for my track car and want a few spares too. Just thought I would check before making any purchases...

Hmmm

[e21Jason]

Well in that case

In that abs and non abs, plus small case and medium case.
M3 are the same as 325

The CV joints are the same, the lengths are the same, the driveshafts I have on my chromie are the original 316 M10 shafts that came with the car, the trailing arms are 325i and its a Z3 diff
