    Anyone have a 6 bolt DS??

    Looking for a good 6 bolt driveshaft for my e36 m3/4/5 anywhere in CA preferably near SF bay area. My cv and U joints are toasted on mine

    Try posting in some of the local Facebook groups.

    Too lazy to get links, but they're called:
    Norcal BMW Parts
    Bay Area/Norcal BMW Owners
    BMW E36 World (not local specifically, but lots of local members)
    Bay Area/Norcal BMW Parts

    Pick n Pull always has a good selection of E36s. Worst case, call up DoubleO2 Salvage in Hayward, they'll be able to help you out.

    All good guys, ended up going through and buying a re manufactured driveshaft through DriveShaft Specialist Inc in texas. Couldn't be happier, Cost me $444 no tax with a $150 corecharge and it came with a center support bearing.

    I was getting crazy driveline vibrations on decel anywhere above 3k rpms, but under the car just wiggling the driveshaft i could hear this hollow clinking noise and see/feel the amount of play in the driveshaft, and this brand new stupid uro center support bearing i put in was still knocking around down there. -170k miles on this car mind you.
