Yup: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1589992

It's a pretty major design flaw and is not something that can be easily redesigned and fixed, therefore It will presumably never be properly addressed by bmw; you just have to hope it doesn't happen to you. Luckily the failure rate is pretty low and if it happens under factory warranty you'll be covered, but if you're going to be tuning your car I'd probably look into one of those aftermarket crank hub solutions.
