(12-29-2013, 11:29 AM)raysorenson Just making sure because it was my assumption that you had seen my posts regarding my correspondence with revshift discussing whether or not any of their existing discs would fit the W124. When you said the M3 discs looked like a fit, I also assumed you knew something I didn't. I'd rather not open my mouth at every opportunity to repeat myself, but it looks like I should have done so in this case.
After sending them a drawing with comprehensive and precise measurements, I was told that the '05-06 GTO flex discs were an exact match. If you'd like, I can forward my correspondence with revshift, complete with .pdf's so you can verify my measurements. PM me with your email address if you're interested.
With luck, the GTO rebuild kit will fit into your BMW flex disc.

01-04-2015, 12:53 PM #15Please do send/post that correspondence... It will likely help someone...my issue now is the driveshaft builder had problems I assume due to the OD of the bushings being too small on he e30 setup and not centering the bolt holes correctly. Caused massive vibes. While I was able to get the discs installed with those giubos, it is obvious the driveshaft maker didn't account for the 1/8" or so difference in thickness between stock and those aluminum revshift ones. Hopefully I can turn mine down on the lathe if the Goat bushings do press in. That would be awesome if it that is the case as I would face cut about 1/16 off each side of the disc and then trim bushings and inserts to match. I really would like to be rid of the stock rubber flex discs.
