Does someone here have experience with driveshaft balancing?
Thinking about getting my driveshaft balanced but I'm unsure what a fair price for that would be, where to go to get it done properly and whether it's something worth doing. I've got some drivetrain vibrations and replacing the trans mounts didn't really fix it, so I'm thinking I might just need some good old balancing.

Look for a heavy truck repair shop, or a race shop.

I agree. Letting a truck repair shop do the balancing. However, a caveat.....let them determine if it is the driveshaft that is causing the vibration.
Long time ago, I had my CV Joint Axles with torn rubber boots to my now departed E30 M Technic repaired when I provided the kit to a local truck repair shop. I was new to the BMW E30 scene then. How times have passed. So long time ago...….Sorry...just reminiscing of old times.

Those who have installed the M3 fuel pump baffle, how secure was it in the tank? I spent some time trying to "clip" it in, but no matter what the baffle was still a bit loose. I felt around and the baffle conformed to the plastic insert that already existed in the tank, so I'm just wondering if that's how it's supposed to be - if so, it just didn't inspire a lot of confidence.
Edit: Seems like I answered my own question, yes apparently it's supposed to be pretty loose in there

I have no experience with balancing driveshafts, but just wanted to say: Damn, that's a clean e30!!
How I wish BMW (or any car mfg) would make a compact - and light - car like the e30 again

The 1 series was pretty nice too until recently. Then they ruined it with FWD and that bulky bloated design.
