Don't let them throw you around like that. They look for the smallest unrelated item to blame it on. Northern X5M would have broken his axle long time ago. Doing launches on a sticky track with sticky tires puts a lot more stress on these things than lowering springs.
Take it up the ladder, but I would remove the tune if I were you before you take it back in.

i thought the comp pkg drops the car similar to the H&R springs? how can they justify that the springs called the axle failure?
dirty move on BMW's part.

With a price of around $ 1500,- it's probably either of the driveshafts.
Part # 33212284115 or 33212284116 The OP mentions a tune, that would be a "better" reason for BMW to void the warranty. |

Unreal ........if these axles are this sub-standard, why in the hell does BMW program launch control into these cars? So I'm guessing that they'll cover a LC failure but not a quick shift. I doubt the OP's tune stressed the axle going from 1st to 2nd anymore than a full LC dump.......incredible.............Phil

So much for mods on BMW cars now, not worth it if things go wrong.

It's a shame that getting warranty service boils down to the relationship you have with your dealership..........Phil
