allan 295 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Have to get something similar done to and was quoted around $350 that was shorten and re-balance from a Palmy Nth company. Have been advised that the BMW shafts are fusion welded not like other which are only just welded this can be a bit of a hassle. Something to do with not having a boss on the joint end to re -attach the shaft and needs to be sleeved but best of luck let us know which way you decide to go..

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted October 19, 2012 I found ADL and Driveshaft specialists a bit dare. The best bang for buck I found was with Beatty's driveshaft centre, mind you that was for lengthening and balancing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
