Driveshaft Hardware

This is a 1-piece conversion for the BMW E36 platform. The shaft measures 2.75" x .170" tube with a 108mm CV to mount to the differential, which will eliminate any possible pinion angle issues. This shaft weighs 20lbs and since the center bearing is no longer used, it will make the car seem more athletic and give it a smoother power transfer. This shaft is now balanced on a 9500RPM balancer to ensure a perfectly balanced shaft. Comes complete with adapter plates to mount up to the transmission and differential flanges and all necessary hardware for installation.

Please Note: The E36 M3 uses either a 4-bolt or 6-bolt rear differential flange. This driveshaft is for the 4-bolt rear differential ONLY. If your vehicle has a 6-bolt rear flange, please see part# BMWSH2-CV-C. Please verify which differential flange your vehicle has before ordering necessary hardware for installation.  Custom built to order.  Build time is 6-8 weeks.

This is a 1-piece conversion for the BMW E36 platform. The shaft is made from 3" x .083" DOM tube with a 108mm CV to mount to the differential, which will eliminate any possible pinion angle issues. This shaft weighs 25lbs and since there is no hanger bearing, it will make the car seem more athletic and give it a smoother power transfer. We would have liked to offer an aluminum version, but for strength, it would have to be made in 3.5" diameter which is too large to fit without a clearance issue. We do offer a Carbon Fiber version also, part number BMWSH2-CV-C. This shaft is now being balanced on a new 9500RPM balancer to ensure a perfectly balanced shaft. Comes complete with adapter plates to mount up to the transmission and differential flanges and all necessary hardware for installation.  

Please Note: The E36 M3 uses either a 4-bolt or 6-bolt rear differential flange. This driveshaft is for the 6-bolt rear differential ONLY. If your vehicle has a 4-bolt rear flange, please see part# BMWSH1-S. Please verify which differential flange your vehicle has before ordering.
