BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

USD 525.00

Shipping Costs Included

Item Interest

I found a source that can rebuild E9X M3 driveshafts - DCT or 6MT.

Price is $525 shipped to you. Return shipping of the core is included as well. Includes a 1 year warranty. Wear parts are replaced and the driveshaft is dynamically balanced.

I've had 20+ driveshafts rebuilt for E46 M3s and have only had 1 issue so far...of course it was MY OWN DAMNED DRIVESHAFT!!!

Depending on what's in stock, there are 3 options:

1. I ship a rebuilt driveshaft to you, you send your core back. $150 core charge. No downtime for you.

or

2. You ship your driveshaft to my rebuilder, 2 day turnaround, and then ship back to you. No core charge. About 2 weeks of downtime.

or

3. I can find a core, ship it and have it rebuilt. Core charge is $400. I can then buy your core back for $200.

PM me to discuss the best option for you.

When you state all wear items replaced, does this include the ujoint and rear CVJ?

Is this just a good item to fix preventatively after 100K miles? I have some 'normal' cowbell stuff, but nothing that I notice that is impacting performance... but this price is good. Any idea how much an Indy would charge for this replacement?

Insane price. I bought a MFactory drive shaft for super cheap compared to this.

I wouldn't necessarily do a preventative replacement but I'll be happy to take your money! Lol

Doesn’t driveshaft specialists do this?
Or
Are you representing a different company

I have a clunk when going in reverse and first letting out the clutch.. then again when I go into 1st. Took it to a reputable shop here in Indianapolis.. they're best guess, I say that because I really don't think they know for sure, but they're opinion is the driveshaft. Car only has 62k on it. They want over $1800 to put in a "new" rebuilt one. Sounds crazy!!!

Not sure I'd blame the drive shaft for that. Usually, the center bearing goes out first which results in a vibration at low speeds.

Teerump · 08-18-2019, 05:16 PM

I don't know what it is.. some guys on here say the DS needs lubed like the BMW service bulletin they put out..
Is the center bearing replaceable?

You can replace the center bearing. It's pretty obvious to see when they go bad.

If you're paying a shop to do the job I'd recommend getting a rebuilt shaft. If the rest of the DS is no good then you're paying for labor twice.

Teerump · 08-19-2019, 12:34 PM

Is it difficult to replace the center bearing?

Not too hard. You need to separate the shaft sections.

Hi. I want to buy a carbon fiber drive shaft (DCT), 2011 (E92 DCT) 83,000 miles, would you buy the original drive shaft?

Interested if you're still doing this. Thanks
