    Speaking from my experience also, do not go for a 1pc driveshaft.

    I went through 4 variations (diameter / thickness) to get the vibration out of mine to no avail.
    Went back to a 2pc and is smooth as silk.

     

    I did read alot about this issue, cheers for the heads up!

    Cool thanks :D guys i'm on the fence about it all right now. 

    After talking to a few people it doesn't look like i'm going to be able make my target hp of around 800-850 well reliable hp anyway as it will cost a stupid amount upgrading gearbox, driveshaft, diff, axles, clutch to be able to handle prolonged use of it :(
    As sad as it is i'm going to have to admit defeat and just try see what happens at Dyno time with the new mods to the M3 engine only and see if there are any loose links that need attention then

    Should drive a bit nicer now, seems alot of toe in for the rear tyres considering the camber on BMWs always wears the inside edges at the rear you might find some premature wear especially if you have some wide ass tread.  personally id be wanting to sit on the lower side of the factory specs on the rear toe than the higher for this reason.

    I suspect you may have a camshaft ledge worn that seals the oil from leaving the vanos system at revs, once the wear a groove in the cam carrier you will need to replace the seal and the carrier. if its the intake side both the camshaft and cam carrier. 

    Although there can be many issues that can cause this... above is the most common we are seeing atm.

    Id book it in to be checked with a diagnostic scanner that can give you some more information on the codes coming up first.

    A diagnostic scan only costs 45+gst here and you can stop in any time you like :)

    Unless you want to to sideways a lot and smoke a lot of tyres I don't see much point in over 400wkw unless you're 4wd.
