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.
