If so you will need to get the driveshaft front coupling fitted to your old E28 driveshaft . Measurements will have to be exact, or have I got this all wrong ??? Your explanation is a bit hard to follow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know you will have to get the E34 front coupling fitted to your E28 driveshaft and rebalanced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
