Thanks, Go
It obviously won't be *as good* as the original factory installation, but it should be damn close. I believe the rear diff is pretty easy to get to relative to driveline stuff in the front of the car. Might involve dropping the rear subframe, but I'm not sure. I'm assuming many BMW bolts are stretch bolts (audi does this a lot), so just make sure on the receipt that the mounting bolts were replaced.
