NO - but you can use the rear section from the CQ shaft and mate it to the front section of an ABY avant - the hybrid shafts will fit an ABY coupe. HTH

Incidentally why does he need a new prop?

center bearings let go and seems to be not available anymore, found a company to make new bearing and carrier but looking at 10 to 14 days and he needs the car asap

The centre bearing is available but its about £200 new. you can use the BMW bearing its a well documented repalcement, not perfect but close enough.. thats about £25 IIRC.

Thanks Error404
already looked at Bmw bearing think he will go the oem route didn't know they were available without the prop as audi have quoted around £1000 saying it comes as one unit.
Any chance of part number of just bearing and carrier as the one on car is mashed.
Thanks

Nothing wrong with BMW bearing. I've used it in my car since ~2005. I did replace a yoke as well.

No need for new shaft, or used one - as even the used one bearing may go bad soon.

as above - you'll be a lucky man to find a decent used bearing
