Here is a picture of the broken front drive shaft. Picked up the vehicle and all is good now. I asked the SA if both front drive shafts were replaced and he said that there is just one that drives the front wheels. Vanos bolts where replaced also.

I read your other post and i was lucky that i did not have the damage that you listed. Took my dealership 1 day to fix and was given a loaner. Of course yours will take more time considering the damage. My SA said that anything due to the drive shaft breaking is covered. I also had a towing bill which they took care of. Let us know how it goes.

Took my 08 w/64K miles in for oil change today and was told my front U Joint was going bad...I obviously declined so I can do more research.
They quoted me $1,224.21 just for the part + 2hrs labor. GetBMWParts has it for $890...so guess I'm going to be buying this real soon and probably replacing it myself. Hope my shit don't break while I'm driving...esp w/my kids! You can check for recalls here: http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...eoverride=true |

noted a shuddering vibration at slow speed especially with the wheels turned and took truck to dealership. First assessment tech said it was a sticker causing the symptom. A sticker. Of course I was back at the same dealership a week or two later and after a few days of diagnostics they discovered the problem. They had to replace the xdrive transfer case. Under warranty. Total cost approx 4k. Moral of the story. Don't ignore the symptoms and be persistent with the dealership especially if vehicle is still in warranty.

Mine was a July 2010 build and the front shaft went last Monday on my 40D with 44,000 miles on the clock. Fortunately I was just pulling away when it broke and then stopped very quickly so minimised the collateral damage to the transmission sump. Out of warranty but BMW covered all the costs as its clearly a defective issue. What is concerning is that they had already checked my front shaft back in March and gave it an all clear!!

Has anyone seen this occur on a 2012 or 2013?
Or had they changed the driveshaft design by then?

Ugh. I have not had mine replaced yet but will add this to the list.
I get some weird vibrations on the freeway sometimes, I wonder if this could be the cause. Although the part, you'd think, would just fail if it was sending any feedback through the chassis. |

They said my drive shaft was fine and did not replace when taking it in for the N63 recall and drive shaft inspection. I asked him point blank what happens if it fails and causes major damange after you decide it doesn't need to replace? He didn't have a good answer for that.
When my parts get here, I am going to press to have them replace this. We'll see how it goes. |

Careful with Bellevue. They tried to get out of taking care of check engine light that happened at 49,950 miles, but my car was brought in at 50,100 miles. Then I had to force them to take care of it either way via Emissions warranty. Bastards hoped I did not know about it. In the end, was done, including free loaner. |

Going to Bellevue. My 4th BMW there, so I know a bit how they work. Rennis, I will let you know what I find out when I go back. I am going to push hard for the replacement. I think about it every time I get on it...which is a lot these days.
I guess if they hold out, I can try Seattle. I wonder what the policy is here? If we demand replacement, can they still say no? They sure as heck aren't going to go out of their way when if fails in a bad way. |

The dealer gets paid for doing the work either way, but there's extra legwork to get something covered when you're technically out of warranty.

I actually really like my SA at Bellevue, but the dealership overall does not have the best reputation when it comes to service.
