I have had a slight imbalance at around 80Km/h, so I changed the right drive shaft about a year ago. Didn´t make much difference. Then found another one in Germany, overhauled with a BMW sticker on it. Took the left one out and found that,while the same lenght, the diameter was about 10mm smaller (on the one I had bought somewhere in Germany), and the holes were for M8 rather than M10, so it didn´t work. And the end sides were different. I therefore had to put the old one back, but thought I´s switch the sides. And now it seems that the vibrations are gone.... Uneven wear on the internals might explain this.
So I am very pleased but still puzzled what the other one might be for. I checked with a handful of other, esp earlier cars but they all had M10s.
