How do you know this? Over the years I have seen any number of rear ends ripped out of cars on a hard launch. You get axle tramp & they will break very quickly. BMW's are not noted for the strength of the rearends but its usually the half shafts that let go. A member here with a not so powerful, but above stock car tore his up on a launch including the drive shaft.

Based on the kids comments & history an abused 2008 was a perfect candidate for what happened.
