just read the whole thing, love your attention to detail. keep up the great work.
as for you noise, i had something exactly the same a couple of years ago on my 320d e46 i bought. tried everything like you. changed the drive shaft itself and all my problems were gone. i hear the drive shafts are balanced from factory and once taken apart they have to be put back together in the same orientation or they will be unbalanced. so i can only assume, someone had mine apart to change the carier bearing at some point and didnt pay attention to this detail. i went throught 3 guibos in like 8 months. it would also only do it under hard accelaration. changed mine with one from a scrapyard and its been fine since.
