Cheap "New" eBay Driveshafts???

You need an e28 or e24 driveshaft?
Hi Don. I have a 4HP22 in an E9 installed by clowns. I *believe* the driveshaft is from a late E24/big motor E28. Part is coming out today for measurement. Front U-joint came apart and made a mess.
I'm seeing $250 new driveshafts on eBay/Amazon with ASIN as spec. Curious.
I still have your CSI intake.

Yikes- I forgot about the intake. I’m at CoupeKing‘s for the weekend- should I drop by tomorrow/sunday?
Xlnt. If you eat seafood, lunch is covered.
Wait, are the weekends 3 days long in California? You guys get all the breaks.
What does he mean by "weekend?" Why would a week "end?" Bad surf?

Driveshaft Pro?
yep
Great deal.
Great deal.
$685.
Anyone know about the $250 ones?

I wouldn't skimp on a drive-shaft. Why worry. Cars have become to valuable...
I would go to a shop that specializes in drive shafts and have them rebuild yours with replaceable U joints
No one?
You're treading into E3 mindset territory here. I have a habit of paying a couple of hundred before eventually paying for the original expensive option.
Having said that, though, my driveshaft place in Monrovia might be more reasonable. I had them do 3 drive shafts on 2 different cars- General Driveshaft Service (626) 357-9560

LOL. Thanks all. The BMW motorcycle guys have a saying; "The cheapest part on a new $31K BMW bike is the owner."
That's not what this is about. I can and have built, spliced, and rebuilt BMW driveshafts with greasable U-joints in my shop. I have been replacing BMW driveline parts for 50 years. I know how much it all costs now that Driveline Pro has bought up all the local driveshaft shops. I get it.
What I'm after here is: Who is selling new $246 E24 Asin spec driveshafts and what are they exactly?

EXACTLY Right! Substitute anything less, and you are back here asking for advice. Install the quality part, then move on the the next weak link.
My bit for posterity…
We at the shop never ask for the cheapest part- we want the best part for the money.
One cheap 200.00 part and I lose 400.00 in wasted labor replacing it for free and offering an apology.
AND
We never install unbranded parts.

I have a few 4hp-22 shafts including a couple of Beyer remans but they’re all for the 4 bolt flange at the trans from the EH trans. If you want the 4hp 5/633 shaft that uses the guibo, that’s a hard shaft (lol) to find.
