F8X M3/M4 CF Drive shaft mod

[Altaran]

Are you able to get the driveshaft registered on your papers? I only have a vague understanding of how TÜV works, and what's allowed as far as custom parts and repairs/upgrades vs tuning parts that are explicitly TÜV approved.

I suppose you could get it in, since it's basically an OEM part and has a BMW part no on it, it's possible.

But that's not really an issue as the shaft is fully covered by other parts when installed.

I got stopped because my car has a big wing that catches their attention. It's in the papers, but he noticed a typo on the Airbox entry in the papers which is ridiculous. So now I am having that corrected and I should be good.

Just picked up a drive shaft too to see how this is done. Have a local shop that wants to see it recommended by my shop that I trust. Worst case scenario I'll just sell the shaft to one of you to do this if I can't find a shop willing to. Got it for $200.

Which shop? I’m in NorCal too and about to submit the parts sheet and measurements from the picture here to JRL Machine & Driveline in Petaluma. Would love to hear some results as well.

You mean the sheet that said 53.875 total length and 3.250 from one flange point to the other?


Oh I just realized it has the part numbers for the parts used too. Shoot I'll just bring it there on Monday and see what they say.

I'll let you know the shop if they said they can do it.

Carbon driveshaft should be installed tomorrow. I wasn't able to use the lift I normally have access to, so that's why it took a long time. Will have a full driving impression by the end of tomorrow with luck.

It's in. Driving impressions later tonight.

My stock driveshaft is coming out tomorrow to confirm measurements against the sheet vs stock length/extended baseline. After that I must do the diff bushings etc so maybe another 2 weeks but hoping before Easter break.

Nice rip off deal. They weren't more than $300 on eBay. What a shame.

In all fairness, they are brand new
