Did you have any trouble convicing the dealer to acknowledge the problem and change the parts? I'm taking it in next week for them to listen, will be my first experience with BMW service.
Thanks!

not really it was surprisingly painless, i dropped the car on Friday for them to inspect it, technician drove it and said everything was normal, then when i came back i took a service adviser in the back seat and he immediately acknowledged the problem, left the car on Tuesday and it was ready Wednesday afternoon. But at first technician was suspecting some rubber pad or something like that, but after i got the paperwork it said they replaced final drive. but there is still howling when decelerating/coasting so I'll talk to them about it when i do next oil change in 2500 miles according to the computer, also will get oil sample for analysis from Blackstone Labs
