If they had multiple lots sitting on the shelves waiting for assembly then some cars will have the defective diffs, some won't. They should at least get which ones are good or not sorted out fast.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a shelf. People mentioned old stock for iDrive too. The parts are delivered JIT. In Spartanburg they are taking them off trucks and dropping them off to the assembly line.
Though there may be a "virtual" shelf where the vendors keep delivering old stock until BMW tells them different.
