Your car should have a Getrag 250, unless it was swapped to a ZF320, and ZF320s have to larger flange. Easy to tell for sure, one says getrag on it and the other says ZF. Use https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS for part numbers.

Eh, maybe. These guys are highly recommended across many BMW forums, however I didn't have success with them. I had them make a custom driveshaft for my manual swapped e32 740iL and the first shaft they sent had the dimensions wrong (both front and rear sections were too short). The shaft wasn't the best quality either. Some sloppy fabrication and paint work, some welds had corrosion on them, the center bearing was an off-brand generic item, generic brand rear CV joint, etc... They sent a replacement shaft that had the correct dimensions but the rear CV joint assembly was different this time and didn't have the rear studs on it. The second shaft was also kinda questionable in quality. They agreed to a return and refund which was nice.

Also, at least in my case, they don't make the driveshaft themselves. They have PowerTrain Industries (Dorman) fabricate the shaft and send it out for them. I will say their customer service was fantastic; they were super helpful and responsive about everything. The price was pretty damn reasonable too.

I had great luck with Beyer Driveline in Chandler, AZ. They melded two driveshafts into one for me and rebuilt everything with OE quality parts. Shipping wasn't terrible and I am sure they can make you a custom set up.
