Different length. Normal, you would need to source a second hand drive shaft for the M50 vanos in the 5series.Cutting the drive shaft is not a thing to be taken becuase it needs to be balanced and the weld needs to be strong enough. Take a look at your drive shaft and imagine if it breaks!. Wah! Disaster, man!.If used parts can be sourced, the swap is not difficult. Labour may cost a bit. It actually cheaper to buy the right car with the right parts, as they say!.</blockquote>
