Just made the jump over to Seattle BMW, and from the initial phone call I am much happier. Appointment set up for next week to have it looked at with some other items.

My question though is with so many post on here of the drive shaft checking out "OK" then (very) soon after failing, what can we do to leverage a replacement of an "OK'd" bad part numbered drive shaft?
This is what I did on my 2012 X5 to get it replaced:
