i have a 87 k100 lt with 136,000 miles.i bought it new and my problem is the driveshaft splines and final drive splines have worn to a sharp point with very little metal at the "point"..i took the parts to bloodworths bmw in nashville and he confirmed what i already knew..the splines will fail,, but as he put it they might go another 10,000 or just 50 miles they are real bad ....my question is,,is there anyone out there that rebuilds splines besides brunos bmw,,he is like 2 months behind at last phone call to him on thursday,and beemer boneyard sells their stuff faster than i can get to it..seems a bit pricey too for used parts..and i dont want to get rid of my trusty beemer this will be the only major repair i have had since new,except for a fuel pump which was my bad i let the filter go and burned it up..found a cheaper replacement for it besides a bmw pump but thats another story for another time.. any help advise or if someone has parts let me know...thx in advance....
