Front section is around 90mm too long and will need to be shortened.
Have you tried getting e8x/9x driveshafts back in? I think in E46s and older they can be pushed back in by hand but e8x/9x its a very tight fit. You can hammer them in but that takes forever. I'll gladly pay for the tool to avoid that grief again. Even the ISTA service instructions tell you to use the special tool that attaches onto the driveshaft threads and pulls it into the hub flange.

ahhh gotcha!
yeah, 2005 and 2006 models i've done, pushed in til the tip stuck out then spun the nut on, was either perfectly clean hubs or brand new though, which might explain it
