We looked for some witness marks and took a best guess of which spline it was on, but it now has exactly the fault you describe - 80mph on the nose and you can hear/feel it.

don't know How true it is but I'm gonna try this.bmw said that to realign the prop both uj either side centre mount must mirror each other or face same way as each other.meaning they need to match

There is only one uj. The diff end is a cv joint, the gearbox end rubber guibo joint. They speak with forked tongue.

oh ok on uj end you will see a kinda u shaped cut out just after the round bearing that holds the + bar in.that should line up wid one of the 3 bolts that hold the donut.ive asked another tech and this is his answer as best i can explain.i can only try myself what ive been told.sorry previous answer was not m3 prop thats why.it has a 4 bolt uj flang diff side.study the props on ebay to get an idea.ive just had a look myself
