Agreed, something would've lead up to the shaking. As M4i0G01 eluded to, maybe the shafts haven't been engineered correctly for all that torque - although, as I type this I'd like to believe the engineers had thought of that since they have experience will full on M SUV's with lots of torque, but you never know.

In any case, glad there appears to be a fix. Maybe we'll see a recall or TSB in the coming weeks?
