The reason I ask is that I have already bought the M3 propshaft and wanted to know if I must buy an Auto 335i propshaft also or if my current propshaft on the car now will work to do the joining of the two M3 and 335i propshafts?

Also, just so I am clear. With regards to the rear axles/driveshafts going out to the tires from the M3 diff. If I were to only replace my diff with an M3 diff then I would need the longer (according to realoem) M3 driveshafts going out to the 335i hub assemblies and even though the M3 shafts are longer they will fit into my hubs?

Thanks!
Pretty sure you need to use the m3 axles with the 335 outer portion where it mates with the hub. Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that's what you have to do.
