I have a 1997 M3. It has been having vibration in the drive-line for some time now and I still can't seem to figure out what is causing the issue. I have replaced engine mounts, transmission mounts, differential mounts, guibo, CSB, Cv joint and I have had the shaft balanced and examined and it is good. My rear subframe mounts are shot, car has 274k on the clock. I know I need an alignment but I don't see how it makes the driveshaft wobble to the point that it tears CSB's.
Normally when the CSB goes out, it's due to a bad driveshaft (U-joints, etc).

For the CSB it is at 25-30 MPH when you feel the vibrations. So if it is outside that speed range, let us know for it can be something else.
