Recall campaign 17V-719 instrument panel

So I received the recall for the software issue that effects the instrument panel. I have not had an issue as of 2000 miles so not planning on getting it done. Has anyone else ignored? It will wipe out all my coding

The next time you take your car in for service, it will be done automatically. Since it's an official NHTSA recall, BMW is required by law to fix it - whether or not you want them to. Sorry ...

I'm sure you have a back up of your coding.

I know that's not the point though. It's not like your steering wheel is going to come off in your hands!!

The issue, as described by my service advisor, was that some people experienced a blank display on startup.

It will replace any coding you have that effects the front control module. If you have Bimmercode, it's obviously just a few minutes to re-code it. If you paid for a service, you would have to do it again unfortunately.
