As above.

Whilst investigating a slight noise on overun I discovererd that The front section of the prop shaft seems about an inch too short resulting in the centre bearing feet not lining up properly with the mounting studs on the body shell.

The rear section has a part number on it which BMW claims is correct for the car but the front section doesnt seem to have any identification marks so I cannot tell if it is correct or not.

The feet have been "Made" to fit but this has resulted in the bearing housing being pulled over so that is no longer at right angles to the axis of the drive shaft though the bearing is at right angles (it cannot not be IYSWIM) obviously this means that the loading on it is not as it should be.

I hope this all makes sense I have some pictures but they are a bit dark and I am not sure ow one uploads them

Anyone seen this before?
