If you haven't got a noisy diff - carry on as normal

Hi guys,
Took delivery of my M2 beginning of August and my dealer finally just replaced the diff in my car. I had put 2,100km on the car before the diff replacement. I know I have to break-in the new diff but do I need to drive it another 2,000km's before I can really push the car again?? I just started to really enjoy it once the initial break-in period was done. Just wondering what others are doing and thoughts on breaking-in the "second" diff..... not too happy about the whole situation. |

I thought this was more of a situation where if your car was impacted, BMW is aware (via VIN) and will reach out to you to replace the rear differential once they are made available. Your statement makes it seem like the replacement differentials are readily available. What am I missing?

So yes, take it in, make note of noise, say it matches the diff recall noise and you'd like a replacement. |

You've got an issue. Your car is under warranty. Simple answer is to call the dealer and see how they proceed. Odds are they probably won't be surprised. Good luck and maybe ask for a really nice loaner. |

My advice is try to record it. Get your phone out and take a video doing something you know will trigger the soda crunch (like slow moving with tight turn, that seems to do it). And I've posted this a few times before, but BMW doesn't truly know how many and which cars were affected in the earlier runs, and they're still discovering more and more as time goes by, a lot of the times because of customers like yourself. |
