Axle replacement

[SteelGreyM]

Hi all,

Finally got around to working on my car again. Got the vanos anti rattle kit installed and im pleased to say the engine is the quietest ive ever heard it. I was ready to rip it when I pulled out of the garage and remember about my rear clunk. After a quick check I noticed my axle boot is ripped and has been for a while. The axle cv joint seems to be completely compromised.

Wheres the best place to get a replacement axle (or set of axles). I see redish selling complete sets in the UK for $1250 US. However they do not ship to the US. Turner/ECS sells one shaft for almost $1k. Where can I get one??? Right rear if it matters.

I could probably help you with that, I can get them here in Europe for a good price and send them to you. Send me a PM if interested.

I replaced mine with the SurTrack Axle from Turner Motorsports, fits E46 M and Z4 M perfectly, and has been great since. $150 and I drive my car hard and drift it often.

I definitely saw that. I just don't know how well I could trust it. Sounds like it worked nicely for you though

I'd get a used axle, replace and repack the boots. Maybe REM polish the CVs.

https://spareto.com I’ve used them for countless customers E90’s rear axles that are now discontinued by BMW.
The ship from Latvia via DHL and I have them in less than a week to Canada.
use the bmw part number and the site cross references and gives you options.
