"Effects: the rear differential blades wear out very fast. Massive noises from the rear differential." Hm, could that explain the weird metallic ramble that several (including me) reported about ? That occasional, peculiar grinding/screechy rambling noise coming from the rear underside.
If it happens to be the rear diff issue (which we don't know yet), then BMW has to recall (much) more cars than the batch starting from May 12 production onwards. Mine is an early April build.

I haven't noticed any noises like you are describing.My car finished production
May 11 2016,which is just before cars are supposed to have the differential issue.
How many kms did you have on your M2 when you first started hearing the noises?The reason I ask is because your car was built a month before mine and it sounds like your car might have a defective differential.
