Looking for a known good drive shaft for a 260/6 as used from 86 on. I am not looking for one to rebuild as I have one on the car now. Looking a low miles one or one that was rebuilt with known history.


Thanks

I might have one. If the one I have is the correct length, it was rebuilt by portland and has a new bmw center bearing. How long is is it?

Hey man, I have one that came with the m5 drivetrain that I dont need. Its exactly the same length as the one that came out of the six that was behind a 265 overdrive.

Should be 1566mm or just over 61-5/8"

Not sure if that will work. The 265 OD unit had a shaft that was 1522 mm which is about 1.75 inches shorter.

I am absolutely sure a 265 prop shaft will not work. Ask me how I know...
