Obviously BMW doesn't think it's dangerous, and that it's going to cost them far less to repair the ones that break versus paying to proactively replacing all of them at the owner's convenience (along with the collateral damage to the vehicle when the driveshaft flies apart).

They could care less about the owners who end up stranded on the side of the road...absolutely shameful.

Sort of reminds me when Ford's bean counters decided it would be cheaper to pay the lawsuits based on a few people dying or frying from the Pinto's gas tanks, versus just fixing all the cars.

Just curious, how did you determine that the failures only seem to happen at high speeds?
