BMW shims for the differential are a bitch to get. Unfortunately there are a limited # of shops that have access to the parts to do this job properly.
A long time ago, when I looked into swapping the different BMW LSDs into a 335, I couldn't find a good fit. I don't have access to a shop that can do the driveline work that George was able to get done.
At this point it would be great if we could get one of the shops like KMS or Metric Mechanics to discuss the details of what is involved with this swap. Drivelines are not easy to mess with, the tolerances are very, very, precise, nothing can be out of balance or too short or long.
