Yea, I was afraid to really 'get on it' after the half shaft failed. It failed during a 3500rpm launch using LC, on cold tires, on old asphalt. The transmission failed with no warning. Grinding in 2nd, I shifted to 3rd and boom, Transmission locked, drive shaft coupling snapped, drive shaft proceeded to beat the undercarriage, heat shields, shifter, actuators, cats. etc. to death.... clutch, trans., diff., all could be damaged due to this failure. It could happen to anyone who drives a M6 IMO.
