As of 2025, all carbon driveshafts are packaged with brand new installation hardware.
The kit includes a new OE guibo that is used to balance with specific markings for alignment. New Genuine BMW bolts and self locking nuts are also included.

Installation Notes
There are key validation procedures to ensure a successful installation of the carbon driveshaft.
In this Special Series, I cover the bizarre backstory to uncovering the manufacturer of the authentic V2 product, and I compare it with the counterfeit product from China I personally tested.
I follow it up with documenting the installation procedures and cover my driving impressions along with other members.
Cheers,
