Later down in the comments he mentioned 20K.
First time I've seen any of his videos was today, and it was this video. If he's a master tech then why didn't he reapply any boot sealant? Anyway, another thing in the comments was multiple other people reporting that there was a service bulletin issued two months ago (Oct) that stated:
- BMW recommends but doesn't require drive shaft spline inspection every 12K (not covered by warranty or BMW)
- BMW recommends and requires drive shaft replacement every 30K (service & parts covered by BMW) for life
I just had a 24K service at dealer in late Oct and they didn't mention this at all. I just looked on the BMW MOA forums and didn't see anything there, either. This isn't supposed to apply to the new 1300 transmissions as they weren't marketed as maintenance free, whereas ours were. Does anyone have any corroborating stories, or better yet, links to official info on this?
