I have a suspicion it's due to a faulty design, and to rebuild a matrix is probably too expensive.
Below are the pics for these CV Boots. the first is for the e53, 2nd for e70. Both pics are borrowed from ECS Tuning web site.
Mounted on the vehicle, both "seem" the same. Off the vehicle, the e70 CV boot and judging by the pic, is LONGER, so what this does (in my mind), it allows for more flex in turns. This combined with a different material is probably a winning combo. Also, the pics allow to see the difference in material. What you cannot assess is the ID of both CV boots if identical or not. This is what we need to establish.
