The issue seems to be way more serious than the rear diff, as per the highlighted paragraphs.

Also note the noise from rear axle description, which seems to be what a lot of folks are hearing, but I'm not sure it if it is the "soda can crunch" or not. I myself have not experienced it.

This is the second time in the 3 months I've owned the car that it has to go in for a recall, very disappointing coming from BMW.
I suppose I am in the campaign also. During my last visit at the dealers place they informed me that 2 bolts should be replaced. I did not ask further explanation but reading this it seems to be for the same reason.
