E90 M3 6MT MFactory Dry Carbon Driveshaft Review

Redd · 01-19-2018, 08:25 AM

Just did my MFactory CF driveshaft today. The clearance to the exhaust heat shields are a bit tight so you will need to adjust the shields so they don't rub.

But other than that it's fantastic! Zero NVH! In fact, it's smoother and quieter than stock. The usual drive train clunk is now gone! Rpms climb faster than before and the car feels more lively. Definitely a highly recommended mod!

there is no center sleeve on a one piece shaft.

Sorry, I meant the centering piece at the end of it.

What’s the news for the carbon shaft ? Are you ready ?

Maybe you guys would have been better off continuing to sell the billet tranny flange shaft ends and getting a supply of the shafts to mark up and sell, rather than spending a bunch of money on legal fees and losing market share and market opportunity.

Is there really no ETA for it upcoming? Because I think there are a few members here on the forum desperately waiting for the release.

Sorry for my inpatients... but I can't wait any longer...

Objectively, what is best for business, not subjectively, how does the owner feel.
