Driveshaft prices are dropping

[Grumpy Goat]

Mine is on the way, but I bought from a different dealer. Should get here on Friday.

I'm curious to hear how it looks when you get it. The description "prop shaft" is interesting. I hope it really is a driveshaft, and not a "prop shaft" (whatever that is) with the wrong picture.
What dealer did you order from? I check the MAX Bmw site, who I usually order from, and the search by part number found nothing.

It so happens that I just got a text from USPS that it is not arriving Friday as expected but is now arriving within the next 4 hours - 1 day early! I will take pictures and update the thread, provided it is not stolen from in front of my front door, as no one is home until 4 hours from now.

I am not too concerned in the terminology used (language notwithstanding) - prop shaft vs driveshaft - since there is no standard that governs what each is called. Convention is not a standard. I went by the allegation that it was a replacement for the original part, and the same sketch (copy-paste?) in the fiche. 

Got it from my preferred BMW-online source, ASCycles in California - no drama always been satisfied so far.
