Me neither, but I did some research:
Recall Detail Ref No. 10000413
Manufacturer. BMW
Vehicle Class. Passenger Car
Model/Type. X series (E7x)
Subject. Replace the front drive shaft
Progress. Running
Affected Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Description of Defect, how it came to light, and possible consequences if ignored.
A worn universal joint may lead to undesirable vibrations and to an increased noise level in the vehicle interior. In individual cases, the universal joint on the front drive shaft may break. The drive torque for the front axle can then no longer be transmitted.
Remedial Action. Replace the front drive shaft.
All E70 & E71 built between April & November 2010 are affected by this.
