Experienced the same vibration OP is talking about shortly after doing this conversion on my 135 only to find out I had two small hairline cracks in the bushings of my guibo disc. Replaced the guibo disc and vibration was gone. Not discrediting OP's analysis, it was a really interesting read and I have heard of the same thing being needed but I would take everyone else's advice and look at a simpler solution first.

Does anyone have one of these in their back pocket? Back-ordered from ECS. Not sure why this washer is such a hard item to find...

It's interesting to see this thread. Out of the hundreds of cars I've serviced, I've never seen color coded drive shaft flange hardware. Neither has a vibration occurred from not putting the hardware back exactly where it comes from. I'm gonna keep my eye out for this from now on.

Seeing how it's only the E9x and E82 M3 and 1M driveshafts, that limits my sample pool to 20-25 removals and installs. Including my personal M3. That said I still haven't noticed these bolts and even if I missed a random colored bolt, I've never induced added drivetrain vibrations by putting the bolt in the wrong location. If I even did.

FWIW I've done some research on the bolts and this is what I've found.
It seems that the thread is just cut longer on the standard bolt to reduce the mass slightly. As you can see for the dedicated counterbalance bolts there's not much difference in mass between the standard bolts. Also this is for system A, earlier year models have system B which use washers. |

Came across this thread by accident as I'm on the CF driveshaft group buy and I shoved my phone camera under the car while it was on the ground and saw I have a blue line on my 2011 e92 M3 dct, so will need a black bolt:

Just did the pinion seal job today. What a pain in the ass to remove the full exhaust and shielding, etc. I do have one concern. I did find on black bolt of the 6 securing driveshaft to the pinion. I made a mistake my not marking the bolt all the way down to the pinion.
My pinion is marked blue, that means it has a black bolt. BMW tis says to line up the black bolt with the mark however the mark on my pinion is in the middle of the two bolts and not exactly lines up seen below. The only logical place to put the black bolt was where I put it. Road test went smooth, no sound from drivetrain at all but still curious to hear your thoughts here. |

I have a similar situation except it's with a yellow marking and a green counter balance bolt. I also didn't pay attention to this marking nor the initial position of the counter balance bolt when I disassembled the CV joint from the diff. In my case the yellow mark is only like ~1/3 away from one of the holes. So that's where I'm putting the green bolt. It also turns out that particular hole is very to the drilled "balance dimple" on the diff shaft... Fwiw.

I'm a bit confused about mine. No markings at all on the diff flange or flange disc behind the flange, also checked inside the flange. Zero marking and my diff flange is not drilled for balance.
Currently has the silver bolts with no washer on any hole. Experiencing a vibration, will replace the flex disc, center support bearing and CV Joint. Found a local shop to balance the driveshaft. Will see if that solves it.

My 08 M3 just started doing the vibration out of no where last week is it possible for the driveshaft to just randomly get out of balance? Im going to replace the CSB and guibo, I also have a second hand driveshaft coming in.
Vibration is from 40 mph+ on the gas, and it gets slightly better but still present when off the gas. |

[QUOTE=Derek MacKinnon;31310735]I have the same issue but my diff has been out and reinstalled without even knowing about this, im currently working on moving the diff to prop round one bolt hole at a time to try and eliminate vibration. Will take some time but hopefully it will sort it. Seems like 35-40mph im getting vibration like a wheel out of balance. Going to take the wheels to get re checked first hopefully its a simple issue.
Have you had any joy with yours? I ended up replacing the center support bearing and re-greased the rear CV joint. I also replaced all bolts with ARP bolts. I don’t feel vibrating any more. Maybe I just lucky new on the orientation

I just installed a new flex disc and CSB. I have the yellow dot with green bolt. I was lucky I took photos of the original orientation to the differential, but to make it clear, I have to put the green bolt in the correct spot aligned with the yellow dot?
