I'm about to have a bunch of bolt-on Dinan parts and possibly a tune - whether it's Dinan or bootmod and can report but I don't drive like an idiot, don't do burnouts or street racing so I don't think I will end up on the crank hub casualty list.
Agreed.

I'm certainly not denying its an issue, but it seems like we have some relative knowledge on how to protect it ie. no use of kickdown, or money shifts, etc.

If total numbers were higher than a small percentage on stock engines, I feel like BMW would have had to issue a fix or a recall no?
A major recall and work involved would cost them millions and I doubt they would make such a recall, this is BMW not Toyota ( received recall for faulty swift for ignition from 10 year old car recently)
