F8X M3/M4 CF Drive shaft mod

[EthanolTurbo]

I’ve also got a spare e46 M3 driveshaft in San Diego right now if we’ve got motivation to knock out another..

Hah, when did you move to SD? I thought you were in the Bay. I can go grab you a non-telescoping CF driveshaft and take your donor shaft to the drive shaft shop in Garden Grove for the conversion. Or you can test my already converted CF DS.

Ok all, I'm back to working on this. Scored an LCI telescoping CF driveshaft for $200! I am planning to shorten it to work on my M2. I will also be giving my CF driveshaft to Sharocks to test on his Dinan S3R since my E46 M3 needs a new motor and uh I need to source a new one and find someone to install it properly.

Progress, right? Guys? 🫣

Damn...what happened to the engine?

Sharocks and I can help you source one.

That's great! Keep up the good work and i'll be ready too, hopefully.

Sharocks is useless, unless there is a schwarma or halal guys meal and hooka involved you'll never hear from him again

I'd still like to do this if someone could get a good source and shop especially if it's in the Atlanta GA area for me lol

Yeah, would be awesome if someone could condense this 27 page thread into a single post with what you need, benefits, and shops that have successfully done the conversion.

Please. I still have one sitting I'd like to have altered to install. I didn't go with the fixed length version, which I thought was the better option…hoping I was correct

Which shop did he use? Manual or smg?

Manual. He used Pats Drivelines but any good driveshaft shop should be able to do this.

Just wanted to give an update...Sorry for the long wait. My E46 has a blown motor so I couldn't install the driveshaft and test it...

HOWEVER... a friend of mine that I advised about this project installed it and tested on track. Works perfectly. I give this mod a thumbs up and the green light for anyone that wants to try it.

I am also putting one in my M2, but that's for a different forum.

if you can get this figured out around the TN Nashville area I'll drive your shaft down to ATL for a tank of gas and some coffee.
