A big thank you to bmwx5er who posted the actual SIB (attached below) that showed my car was inspected against the wrong version of this SIB. My car was reinspected two days ago and still no signs of any corrosion or excessive wear or radial play.
Current odometer 100,000+ miles.
Original SI B26 01 14 was dated June 2014. This was soon superseded by the Aug. 2014 version - which required a "Service Action Label" with code 673 to be fixed to the B-pillar.
Although my car was inspected in Sept. 2014, no label was affixed to the B-pillar . . . given this I told the dealer my car was inspected per the outdated SIB . . . dealer agreed to inspect it again free of charge.
The Aug. 2014 has since been replaced by a March 2015 version - no idea whether the steps listed for this inspection has changed - perhaps a more thorough inspection?
If someone has access to the latest March 2015 version of this SIB (SI B26 01 14) please post it and we can do a comparison.
In April 2015 BMW removed the requirement for the "Service Action Label #673" . . . now after the inspection is completed only the key fob scan will show this campaign as completed, no B-pillar sticker.
For now I am going to leave this alone . . . closer to 120,000 miles (extended warranty limit) I will have my Indy inspect it again . . . if there is any radial play I will try and get the axle replaced under warranty.
Given I plan to keep this car for some more years (180-200,000 miles) I may just go ahead and replace this axle . . . part cost is about $600 plus labor . . .
