Driveshafts are not cheap, £500 odd each from BMW, or if you can find a dealer that will supply them the GKN (oem) are about £250 a piece
Beware of so called reconditioned shafts, most are just bodged up with a satin black paint job.

I have seen the individual CV joints available on some american sites, but never found anywhere to supply them over here

I need a new outer joint or two for my chromie, so would also be interested if anybody knows where to buy proper ones from
