Grey dog thanks I will strip it tomorrow and have a good look, the splines on the end of the shaft have worn and started to round, splines inside the tbox are very worn also, this part was engineered to fail, the shaft can be inserted at least another inch but bmw choose not too

No drive what so ever just a really loud grinding rattling noise, removed shaft and you can see the wear
