Dropped my mid-2012 X5M in to the dealer yesterday - knocking sound from front left on tight turns .... like the CV joint on my first car 100 years ago ...
Yep need new front drive shaft, courtesy of BMW fortunately - which being in NZ has to come from Germany. Hope it lasts until then ... 50k miles.
Service guy wasn't familiar but his tech guy said they replaced a handful.
So maybe 2012 onwards are afflicted afterall, M's as well as other models.
Worth checking i reckon.
