LOL, maybe you should delete your account as you are the one who just came on a public forum and said you floored the car from a stop light and it then broke after. Accelerating and flooring are two different things. Please enlighten me how taking off from a stoplight is different than taking off at the track? There is no difference.....it significantly stresses the axle of the car. The bigger issue here is how you have 2 posts on here and come post about how BMW won't warranty your axle because you basically acted like a clown at a light....yet somehow try to differentiate that from being at track by saying "I wasn't driving on a track." Hey, sorry it happened to your car.....but you don't do yourself any favors by coming on here and admitting you floored the car and generally drive it hard. They obviously looked at the computer and saw you drove the car hard (and likely illegally since you weren't at a track) and it's not in their interest to cover a warranty repair arising out of an illegal act. If you were driving normally....then absolutely, I'd be with you on this. Even if you drove the car hard in the past and then this just came up on a normal drive...you still would be fine. Hohttp://www.6post.com/forums/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=18608647wever, you clearly stated this happened after flooring the car. What did you think they were going to say? I'm not telling you this because I dislike you. I'm telling you this because I am in the legal field and this is just common sense. I am telling you WHY they came to that conclusion and WHY that conclusion, although unsatisfying to you, has a solid basis.

Also, for the record, I do like the performance of the car....however, I also don't like to look like a clown flooring a RWD car with 560HP from a stop light and sitting there for 3 seconds because the car has no traction and isn't moving anyways. This car's strong point from a performance point of view is not using it like that.

Feel free to drive the car as hard as you want, but don't expect BMW to cover it when it breaks due to that (and certainly don't come on a public forum and admit you floored it and it broke right after). You can do searches on Vette, Benz, BMW, etc. forums and find lots of similar situations and the companies/warranties never cover this! Again, sounds like they looked at the computer and have a pretty good idea of what happened.
