Yes, only the CV boot was torn the whole axle was not broken and was still intact. The mechanic was trying to say I bought an aftermarket axle that didn't fit, which I knew wasn't the case. I bought the GKN one which is what BMW uses and have the same brand axles I have on my 3 series which hasn't been changed since the factory. My brother eager to drive his car and not being aware of my warranty gave into whatever replacement they were using ($150 total for the 2nd axle ��*♂️) without telling me first. Didn't matter anyway cause that one snapped a day later also. To add, I still even have the axle bolt and shaft seal that they didn't use from the first one. Also, the differential and everything around it didn't leak or throw any codes.
