That sucks! I don't understand why BMW would not just go ahead and replace the older model drive shafts given that when it fails (a) it's extremely dangerous, and (b) very expensive (several thousand $$) to fix the damage. Plus, I don't have a good opinion of BMW Bellevue's service dept.
What's the extent of damage? Transmission? transfer case?
I took some photos of my driveshaft and convinced BMW seattle that it was indeed failing and got my replaced a few months ago. Hopefully, the new one does not see the same fate.
