“Drive shaft malfunction. Was driving this morning and made a normal left turn and I heard something pop and as I continued to drive something front passenger wheel well was banging. I got the car towed to my mechanic and they discovered there was an actual recall on this same part. I never received any mail notification about this part and I am constantly receiving mail about an airbag recall that Bmw has said they have already repaired.
