Let's hope this one is good!
Looks to me like that is a completely different flange so hopefully they have rebalanced the whole shaft. The 'scooped out' cavity looks good but the raised locating spigot looks a bit shallow?
And I can't understand what could have caused those tangential scratches? As a custom propshaft builder I'm a bit surprised they don't have a standard BMW diff flange.

Hope you enjoy the next test drive
