BMWs usually have a guibo in the first joint position though, the M3 is different maybe?

Here is a picture from the back of my shaft. The front has the same type of coupling as the back and is attatched to a 3.6kilo alu flywheel.

Jarle,

Tell us what we all want to know:-

1 Is it all universal joint or a mix of rubber couplings as well?
2 What car is this on, road or race ?
3 Two piece or one piece shaft?
4 Is the vibration (if any) acceptable?
5 Is there any special fitting requirements in terms of angles to cater for the correct operation of the universal joints?

Hope it's not too many questions for ya.

MD:
1: No rubber
2: Track car with licence plates
3: 2-piece with slide part in senter section
4: Acceptable. Engine is fully rebalanced with front pulley and "front" flywheel.
5: Not done aything specific. Have hardly driven the car with this shaft. Hopefully I can give a feedback during July, as the car is under major modifications at the time.
