The BDR does not use a stock BMW shaft. It has not used one for years. And you can sling all the misinformation you want but the BDR had the fastest 0 - 60 in the only head to head competition I have seen. And the youtube video posted above is documentation of that. The BDR was also on the tires the cars come with ... Goodyear Eagle F1s.
Enjoy the drive.
Adding to that, the driver that put the 3.4 down was not a pro driver or hired gun... it was actually the truck driver of the BDR show rig!
