Just did some investigating - looks like the Auto 335i driveshaft is 5mm shorter than the 340i - not much at all from my experience. Also, all the models discussed here, 335i, 340i, M235i and M240i use the same “insert nut” which I believe joins the driveshaft to the differential input.
For what it’s worth, the M235i driveshaft (auto) is 15mm shorter than the m240, which is just under .6 inches. I don’t think that’s a major concern either.
