Just Wednesday 10th July, my front drive shaft decided to gave while driving. I have noticed "gur ger gur" sound coming from below while driving slowly, decided to park by the side and did a check, engine running smoothly without any funny noise. So, I confirmed it might be the shaft below but never have any least idea that it will eventually broke. My past experienced on drive shaft was very much the coupling wore off and replacing it is not serious.
But this time, its ridiculous that the shaft actually broke. "Continue from top," I drove to a near by regular car workshop (whom I knew) but not a BMW specialist, to my horror (don't know fortunate or unfortunate) before reaching the workshop which is 30m away, my speed was about 10+mph and a sudden "ping pong bing bung......", as if like someone is whacking the car with a metal rod. People standing by the sides were all staring at this X6, their expression were ??????? what the F##k happen to this BMW.
Anyway, immediately called up to check on spare part and left with USD1,000 poorer the next day.
