Bad luck, sorry to hear about this. Glad you got it sorted now though.
Its clearly a design fault, although generally not so serious as not to last 10 yrs or so which is probably the general expected life of the vehicle.
Yours also had modified suspension so put extra load through the rear. This may not have been a factor but may have been.
These cars are getting on now. Although I don't agree with them fixing some and not others I think its just a pit fall of owning an older car. You can't expect BMW to fix cars indefinitely. I think BMW are pretty good in general with good will etc, esp on slightly newer cars kept in the dealer network.
