But only on E70 that where made in 2007-2010 , the 2007 where made in 2006 ,2 months after mine was made,and are the same parts and same problem.
Gotcha. Have yours gone already? If not are there upgraded part numbers that can be installed so that this is not a problem in the future? I might be interested in installing the upgraded components just so I wouldn't have to worry about something like that happening.

Can you like to an e53 that has had this happen?

As I said, I've never heard of that in an e53... anyone here ever have that happen? Maybe it's just an e70 thing for some reason? I realize the parts are the same, but maybe it has something to do with mounting or??? I'm not standing up for BMW here... I just want to know if this is something I should think about or not.
