Yes, pretty disappointed. I suspect there are more E70s owners had the similar issues with their diffs as the service advisor at the dealer told me they had 2 x E70s towed back to the dealer one just before christmas last year and another one early this year with a broken diff.

The dealer did give me some discount on the parts and labour, however they would not replace the item under goodwill given my X5 was out of warranty for an extended period.
