I think the "fixes" that resulted in damage though were because the fixes failed. Like the sprockets breaking, or them slipping as well. Never heard of a good slip. It's a novel idea and somewhat interesting to think that there might be a mechanical safeguard on the valve train, but it can't stand to reasoning that this is true. Sometimes a slip will not make contact. Sometimes slips cause catastrophic damage. I haven't seen a single scenario where a slip prevented any damage. |

How could you validate that? If the slip prevented the damage, there would be no damage to show. It's a catch 22. Only BMW design PFMEA would be able to demonstrate this.

You are right, not a defect in manufacturing, but a design flaw
