Title says it all, good friend with an e32 and trying to help
thanks

I have one from a 735i but I imagine that the 735iL one is longer?

I’ll buy the entire shaft if the front half is the same and it might be. Is yours a 4 bolt flange and can you get me a measurement ?
Thx

It is the 4 bolt and I'll pull it out and get some measurements.

It looks like from the mating flange with the four bolts to the centerline of the u-joint is like 27.5" or from the centerline of the u-joint just behind the flange to the centerline of the u-joint just in front of the center support bearing is like 26.25"

Let me know if you want me to email you some pics or something.

Bolt in the center holding them together ? I’ll get measurements and check tomorrow

I'm sorry I don't understand what you are asking about the center bolt...yes, it is still bolted together.

Some driveshafts are held together with a single bolt into the center of the shaft. Others are held together with a collar ring

Oh ok, I didn't realize that. The one I have just has the one large bolt in the middle.

The driveshaft shop isn’t coming up with 27 3/8. I am guessing the 1/8 difference is just the difference in measuring ? Price for sending the front 1/2 with the bolt and washer that holds the 2 sections together to 30260
Thx

OK, yeah I'm sure that's just the inaccuracy of using a tape measure. Can you PM me your email address or phone number so I can send some pics? There is some surface rust on the driveshaft end, just want you to be sure you want it before I take it part and get a shipping quote.
