Aside from some close to urban myths going around, only the inner CV joints are available. The fronts are so expensive you might as well buy a complete new driveshaft. I did that. The rear inner is the same as the Boxster and quite reasonably priced.

availability of CV joints in germany was so bad, i decided to do an overhaul of my existing driveshafts (rear) and bought a spare pair for the front for the case, i ever need replacement there.
For a tracked car with low ride-heigh, i recommend to use a proper grease for the cv joints... Std. grease overcocked at the first trackday and the cv boot bursted.... With a proper grease from castrol (also avail for BWM with a BMW branding for the 5-series) is that problem gone

Wish there were options like this available. And that they were priced slightly less than an appendage. Neat though-

Back to reality, has anybody had a complete axle, inner and outer, rebuilt? I have a spare pair of fronts that I’d like to send off.
