FYI my dealer evaluated my driveshaft and said that everything looks great. I have an updated model so it did not require a recall I guess. (2017 F85) Grateful, especially after a few track days and my "assertive" driving style. Hopefully it has some longevity built into it.
Crazy nice cars at the dealership, I want them all. I still want to drive my salesman's 2022 X3M too, and the new i4 just to feel the rush of acceleration in that thing. Last edited by Blue By You; 10-28-2022 at 06:38 PM.. |

I had a shop to build a shaft for me, but i am working on adjusting the design just a little, there are two spots id like to address, so we are redoing the whole thing, hoping to have better shafts available in a week/2 weeks likely

Pipe run out was too much, even though it balanced well. Issues with the dust cover they offered, we will be reusing factory dust boot. Yoke ujoints were binding, had to address this as well. So i am using another driveshaft company at this point, they have much more experience with bmw driveshafts, and they have major knowledge overall, have answer to all my questions, so far excellent experience. I am also working on the driveshaft sleeve , bottom part is finalized, top piece will be ready this week, hopefully will have bulk order available very soon |

RealOEM tells me my F15 shares the same front driveshaft PN as an X5M. Interested in learning more!

I go through a lot of challenges building this ds, I finally got the right high quality ujoints installed, you can get them from rockauto if they ever need replacement. Now i am adjusting splined section design , literally 2-3 weeks from having it finalized and ready to go. Takes a little extra time but end product will be fire
