E70 X5 40M Propshaft failure
Re: E70 X5 40M Propshaft failure
Get it checked "X5Sport", had few F15 with only 60~70k miles, front shaft gone....
Re: E70 X5 40M Propshaft failure
I thought the propshaft problem was just limited to a couple of years of manufacture. Is it an ongoing fault than can affect all LCI E70's and F15's.
Are the pre LCI's affected too .

Re: E70 X5 40M Propshaft failure
It sounds like a general issue. My propshaft was replaced as part of the recall but the failures seem to cover a wider period now.... 
Either that or the checks were not done carefully enough by the Dealers >:(

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.Re: E70 X5 40M Propshaft failure
Pre Lci e70 drivetrain is same as on Lci e53, so no problems. Basically if you got 8hp gearbox you got sh..t propshaft. It does not matter if its x1,x3,x5,x6,f30,f10 etc..Had them all..
