F8X M3/M4 CF Drive shaft mod

[0-60motorsports]

Gotcha.
I guess it just seems like it's beit's a stand still. I have this driveshaft just sitting here waiting for a shop confirmation, process, and confirmed testing results of performance (zero vibration, etc). Us SMG users have an extra layer as well.

LOL right there with ya brother!!!! Hopefully soon. Otherwise I'll have to get my hands dirty later on this year when I'm over there (like I did with the SMG relocation hydraulic lines drama).

Altaran's worked fine, I got mine re-shortened to the proper length, just haven't reinstalled it yet. I haven't driven my E46 in 3 months so once I get it back on the road I'll resume testing.

I am sure once someone has the shop to do the mod locked down (a reliable and reputable source with shipping service) this mod will start to take off. Like I said if someone can assist with a solid shop in getting this done for me in the States i will happily buy a CF DS and ship it direct to the shop. Or i'll just wait when i am back over and have it done locally myself. I'll still need to know the length for and SMG car though.

How though? This has been over a year, and it seems dead as of now. Two people testing with no word

I know it's only the one account and probably not much of a mod for the faint hearted. But so far seems pretty promising.

PM me if you want to get it done here in Germany, would be at the company that did mine.

Sure! Will do that now

If anyone can get this done and shipped out for me for a reasonable price i would be grateful and would only do it then.

I wonder how much of an improvement this is when compared to the process of integrating it right. There maybe a reason why OEMs walked away from it. I would rather have vibration free sailing that having a cool part that makes the car drive like poorly.

It revs better. It is almost like changing from a dual mass to a single mass flywheel. Not quite as significant but noticeable.

I also had a clunck with the old driveshaft, probably due to worn bearings. It's gone now.

I feel like we are going to see a bunch of these for sale under the heading of "sold the car, never installed, my loss is your gain".... lol

Is this dead, or what??

It's slightly lighter (5-6 lbs). The main benefit is shift quality.

Ah good info, I might buy one for me as well to put it on stock. Mine has been behaving weird lately, having issues to put it into reverse when the car is warm.

What's the benefit of swapping this gearbox in? Is it lighter? I thought the gear ratios are the same.

I'm debating combining this with a s6-37 swap, since a different length shaft will be needed after 🤔
