What's that? Axle?
That's the flex-coupling on the tailshaft of the transmission. It's called a Guibo coupling.

So THAT'S what a Guibo is

Every one on the M3 forum is always talking about replacing that

Hold down the dsc button for three seconds. but be careful when doing so, the vehicle is likely to spin out
Thanks dbae1978 but some how i coulndt find the DSC button, all i can find is the DTC located below the CD head unit. My old TL has this DSC button on the left so i was just wondering like do we have to do a speciall trick to turn it off like the Lexus.

Be careful... It's DSC that keeps us on the road when we run out of talent...
