Someone has pics with side by side comparison from the inlet flanges or measures them?
I have here actual a V1 lying for measurement and can help with lathe or cnc milling for a adapter or a create a new flange...

I have a spare V1 diff but need to get some sockets so I can pull both of them off. This would be a good solutiin, as there are plenty of bad v1 diff out there, If not already scrapped.
The hole pattern for the actual fasteners is off about half a hole. I measured
V1 is 100mm with (3.375")~86mm pcd
V2 is 108mm with (3.700")~94mm pcd

Yeah you could but ($,shipping,another rare V2 part,potential downtime)..I think it'd be much more optimal to find a Porsche 930 style CV to use. But the center splines are different, so that's another change, but probably not insurmountable.

That's not possible with out cutting, welding and balancing. The designs are so different. The V2 uses a ujoint in the center, with splined end of rear shaft going rear to front... The V1 is no yolk, splines on front half going into rear... Just not gonna happen.

why bother? The v2 has a beefier bearing mount assembly and iirc, it had the same bolt pattern as the v1 part. And my experience with a one piece in this application hasn’t been perfect so a hybrid shaft makes sense to me...it can be built but you’d know more about how hard that would be than I would
something like this would make this a bolt in swap.
i was going to do this but when I bought my bone stock, well maintained 06, it drove to good to mess with...there’s a lot of pics on a thread I started about a v2 6060 swap.

1 person designed a flange adapter to bolt the Stock Driveshaft to the V2 flange A company is supposed to be producing them.....still waiting.
1 person swapped the V1 flange into the v2 diff and sent it. Seems it would be at the limit, but I have not heard of the CVs dieing.

The V1 shaft is rather serviceable now. With the voodoo bearing, and now knowing BMW D/S CVs are practically identical.... Why go through the bother.

Swapping the CVs requires a rebalance, if I understand correctly. It's damn near impossible to find anyone to balance our shafts without rebuilding the whole thing...even then results are iffy. The V2 shafts are doable by most any driveshaft shop because they have the U-joints instead of the 6 hole CVs.

BMWs do too, and they have dozens of replacements available.

Yeah, the BMW 7-series E65 uses the same rear cv-joint we have, but in the middle a u-joint, way better solution here, then ours with double cv-joints...

My understanding is the car is down (for some other reason) and has only done around 400-500 miles for street tuning....but has withstood some pulls (LSA supercharged as well).
