I think your getting mixed up with something else, even 316 driveshafts are the same as whats on a 325iranxerox wrote:You said an e30. The 325e had a different shaft than the 325i due to the increased forces. You may only need to go to an I shaft. Also how much boost are you getting from your turbo, depending on that will also determine how much you need to upgrade.
There is a guy on here with custom driveshafts, they have UJ joints rather than CV joints

They appear to be different according to the Parts listing....
