Confirmed I have the newest driveshaft (the one used on the F15 models as well) so mine isnt the part that grenades and the U-joints blow apart.

Its under CPO until July 2019 so we shall see if it happens, if so I will bring it back in.

Glad to have a "clean bill of health" for the most part -

My next maintenance regimen as she is approaching 69k miles, is a full ZF transmission service (ZF recommends to perform every 60k-80k miles max)

-ZF Pan/Filter and bolts
-Mechatronics sleeve, 4 bushing "sleeves", and the bridge seal
-Lifeguard6 fluid

I'm also going to be doing the front and rear diffs with Redline 75W-90, and I'll get the Xdrive T-case oil changed (BMW fluid only obviously), and the adaptations reset in the T-case module.

Then its on to the XHP Flashtool flashing of the TCU
1. When I have problems with a car and the dealership gives me a "clean bill of health", that doesnt make *me* glad...it pisses me off.

2. I would strongly urge you NOT to use anything that doesnt have a BMW part number, until the warranty is done. Fluids, filter, etc, etc. Id be OK with a ZF OEM pan and ZF6, but thats all. no redline fluids
