I hope so. The memo seems pretty specific about the number (202) of cars affected, and across all the listed models....so hopefully it is a small number of M2 cars

I think it went down like this...the diff manufacturer contacted BMW telling them they fucked up (wrong material, gage out of calibration, out of spec) a certain lot of diffs, qty 202, used in some of their M cars. Just to make sure one doesn't slip through the cracks they put a stop delivery on all M''s manufactured during that time. 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. Good luck!

More than likely someone left off an internal bolt or a bolt to mount the differential was overlooked. Along with the fact that roundels are falling off, there seem to be a lot of items occurring where attention to detail is overlooked. |

Though there may be a "virtual" shelf where the vendors keep delivering old stock until BMW tells them different. |

If you enter your VIN does it show this recall yet?

Ouch. That sucks. Just to clarify, 202 vehicles include M3/4/5/6 produced during that time so the number of M2's is likely a small fraction of that.

I would have thought so! I'm picking up my M2 on Thursday, and so far no word from the Performance Center telling me not to show up. My CA is 'checking' my VIN a couple of times each day, and so far it isn't showing a recall or stop sale. Perhaps BMW routed parts to Spartanburg to protect PCD commitments?
