trouble to find driveshaft U-joint

[Konstantin Bogach]

Joshua,  could you find out BMW part #?  It will be a break through in this thread
because there is  no part #s for this U-joint in whole archive.
But damn expensive!  Actually I found exact match for the u-joint but manufacturer is
in Taiwan.  They give cross reference for several manufacturers including 3 BMW  #s.
I checked them with GPR and TPC and they did not come up.   I could not find other
brands too.

Thank you.
