Oh, really? 99%? Care to provide a source for that figure? What kind of driving is an M3 meant for, and how much of that do you think can actually happen within 800 miles?

Please note: the above is not to imply that I believe his particular case warrants a class action lawsuit or even a warranty repair. I simply don't think any of us in this thread can cite any hard numbers about this situation, much less any real facts of any relevancy, except for those few people who have dealt with this specific problem directly or who work for BMW.

If you work for BMW or have had your diff bolt snap, I apologize, particularly in the latter case.
