Nothing I'd love more than it to fail and get a new trans and engine out of the deal if it damaged them. . But so far it's stable and no vibrations.
I'll go under and look for the part no. just came fack from a 3k mile trip - Car was loaded to the point I couldn't see in rear view mirror & I caught myself doing 120 sometimes ... now when I think of what 3 series folks are doing, remove the front drive shaft completely in the summer time ... may throw some code but both sides are sealed (front diff & center TQ - atleast 335 ones are), hey I just put 3k into the car on tune and exhaust etc
From what my dealer told me they had a production date where their was batches made that where failing and 2012 models Were not affected. However 2010 and a few months of 2013 where effected.

Who knows the way I see it if I have over 100k miles and it's still good it may have failed a while ago if it was. But as long as it's covered I still have 10k miles worth of warranty on it so if it fails I get new stuff. If it doesn't I'll just replace it when the 10k miles are up and chalk it to maintenance.
