BMW Driveshafts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

BMW E36 E46 E30 Universal Flex Disc is an essential component located between the driveshaft and the transmission, designed to absorb hard vibrations and shocks during gear shifts. Over time, the rubber in the flex disc can degrade, leading to increased vibrations and clunking noises. Replacing this disc ensures your BMW drives smoothly and maintains optimal performance. Turner Motorsport offers this high-quality replacement part, manufactured by URO Parts, a leading provider of direct replacement components. URO Parts adheres to ISO 9000 certification standards, guaranteeing long-lasting durability and reliable performance.

• Absorbs vibrations and shocks from gear shifts
• Reduces clunking noises and enhances driving comfort
• Ensures smooth and optimal vehicle performance
• High-quality construction by URO Parts
• ISO 9000 certified for durability and reliability

Stock rubber flex discs allow for a slight amount of give, especially under heavy acceleration and, depending on the amount of force applied, could potentially tear or split. This slight flex/give can prevent instantaneous transfer of force to the wheels, making accelerations unpredictable, or even lead to your vehicle being stuck on the side of the track. To combat this, IRP's Performance Flex Disc was developed. Made of CNC machined aluminum, this flex disc won't actually flex, and the polyurethane bushings will only provide a enough give to dampen some vibrations and prevent damaging the transmission. This is perfect for high torque applications such a drag cars and dedicated track cars that want immediate response and long term reliability.

This is a 1-piece Chromoly conversion for the BMW E46 (6-Speed Manual Transmission ONLY, will not fit SMG).

The shaft is 3" x .083" DOM tube with billet aluminum plates to convert the small bolt pattern on the factory transmission to use larger 1310 U-Joint and a 108mm CV to mount to the differential, which will eliminate any possible pinion angle issues. This shaft weighs 25 pounds and since there is no hanger bearing, it will make the car seem more athletic and give it a smoother power transfer.
Unlike other aftermarket shafts for BMW's this shaft features a slider system that will let the shaft move in and out during racing and chassis flex. This shaft is now being balanced on a new 9500RPM balancer to ensure a perfectly balanced shaft. Comes complete with precision machined front and rear conversion plates and all necessary hardware for installation.
The Driveshaft Shop has been manufacturing heavy duty replacement driveshafts for street and track vehicles around the world for the last thirty years. Every single shaft is dynamically balanced at over 9000 RPMs to ensure unbeatable reliability. With materials such as Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, and Chromoly The Driveshaft Shop has a solution for you no matter what the application.

This part fits the following BMWs:
2001 - 2006 E46 M3
