Clubby is on a distinguished road
40d M Sport Died

Hi All, has anyone had the front tail/drive shaft snap a uni joint and come loose and smash a hole in the sump?
I heard a weird unbalanced sound/grind before a bang. I immediately pulled over and shut it off. On inspection I noticed oil pouring out of the engine. Had to get towed to the nearest BMW dealer (150kms away which is 500kms from home) and now there are no sumps in Australia and I've got to wait 10-14 days before one gets here. Then the time to fix.
Lucky I've still got warranty.
