Might want to ck runout on the shaft when you get couplers on and bearings in place, its fairly easy with a lenght of angle iron and a magnetic base dial indicator. Factory spec is no more than .012".
Got mine to .004"

Are we going to share??????? 
Rconce01 is in the process of swapping his couplers to ones he got from BMW, he sent me a pic and they are a perfect match. Todd at RPM Transmission is watching dog it as well...
I'd have to confirm which ones he ended up getting but I do believe they were indeed for the 318. He did find some on that auction site for $40.00 but he decided to go local (BMW Dealer) just in case for $55.00... I’ll try and get the part number from him for you guys lurking.
