Product Information
Genuine BMW remanufactured manual-transmission driveshaft for BMW E60 M5 Sedan and E61 M5 Touring models equipped with, or being converted to, the six-speed manual transmission. Based on BMW manual driveshaft part number 26112283210, the assembly provides the correct manual-transmission driveshaft configuration between the gearbox and rear differential for S85 manual applications.
Each driveshaft is built from a Genuine BMW used core. The complete assembly is inspected, cleaned and prepared for reuse. The original universal joint is inspected and serviced but is not replaced as part of the standard remanufacturing process.
For long-term durability and serviceability, the Genuine BMW metal driveshaft remains our shop-proven choice for S85 applications. Unlike many carbon-fiber alternatives, it does not rely on a composite tube bonded into separate metal end fittings, removing a potential critical failure point under repeated torque, heat cycling and impact.
Please note: This is a remanufactured component and is not sold as new. Minor surface marks, discoloration or finish wear may remain without affecting fitment or function.
Remanufacturing Process
- Inspection of the driveshaft tube, flanges and mounting points
- Cleaning of the complete assembly
- Inspection and servicing of the universal joint
- Inspection of the sliding and connecting components
- Final preparation for installation
