This is a bit more work as these drive shafts have the bolts "fitted" to the rear joint. One can smack them out with a hammer and then use bolts 26 11 7 526 322 (M10X52). This is the same bolt used on all E60 and E65 models. You will then need to modify your rear half of your shaft to take this joint.
I wonder if I could use the driveshaft from the 1M and mate it to the the M3 pumpkin. 26107847024, 26107619258 1339mm
