Guys, my rear left half shaft recently snapped, and I'm having a nightmare sourcing a correct replacement. I've already bought one which dosent fit despite being listed as the correct one, the end which connects to the hub was too big.
Can anyone shed some light on the different types for me? RealOEM lists it as part #33217504521, but also the 330CD shaft as the same part. There seems to be loads of different kinds apparrently for the same model online and It's doing my head in.
I'd be grateful for any help
You need to provide the last seven digits of your VIN, or use those same numbers at realoem, to identify the correct part number. We don't even know the date of manufacture for your car, so we can't possibly point to the part number you need.

Thanks for your help, turns out the E46 330ci and 330CD share the same half shaft part number, and its alot easier to find one listed under 330CD in the UK
