Had all gone according to plan, it would have been approximately 30 days between arriving port of Charleston on May 10 and my Performance Center delivery on June 10. |

Everyone who is waiting has every right to be frustrated but from what I've read and hearing, BMW is managing expectations as well as they can - that is parts are coming when they're available sometime at the end of May. Anything more is fake promises and fluff to keep the customer happy today and to worry about the fallout later. |

Either the May 27th date was inaccurate, or parts are trickling in, or the number of affected cars is far greater than reported. We have cars that have been sitting at the VPC for weeks it seems. It seems that last week, there was some level of confidence that parts would arrive during the week of the 27th and cars would start shipping out afterward.
Unless BMW is proactively cancelling Performance Center pickups, it seems that they don't expect these cars to be fixed/shipped out before the 10th-12th of June. |

-The number of affected cars is known, around 500 according to the bulletin which may or may not be accurate -By now they should have delivery estimates from the supplier, 500 isn't a massive number -Depending where the cars are located (VPC, dealer, etc.), they should know how many technicians are available and when a particular car might be ready The fact that early/mid-June appointments are being cancelled in worrisome. |

If I were a customer waiting my car to be delivered, the only information I want to know is when are parts coming and when can I expect my vehicle to be delivered. From this thread, none of that information is available yet. |

The big question I have is if the 27th is relatively accurate and sold cars are being prioritized ... then why are Perf. Center deliveries scheduled a week or two later being canceled?!?

According to my CA, my car, which finished production after May 1st, had/has no stop sale, was in QC forever and now has sat in "STATUS: Awaiting carrier assignment" for almost 1.5 weeks. Maybe normal, not sure, but according to timelines others have posted, this seems long for this stage?
Good luck to others waiting. |

Just want to add another datapoint to this thread. Picked up my M2C at the Welt today and saw another one being delivered before mine. The car was a production week 18 vehicle and completed assembly on April 30th. If I plug in my VIN number on the BMW recall website, it says that it is part of the recall, but no one said a thing at the Welt today and I was able to pickup my car.

I just got off the phone with my dealer - Fields BMW - and was told they have not heard anything about May 27th, and it's unlikely because that's a holiday.
They also redirected me around again when I asked about canceling my order. They're certainly not going to do anything since I've paid for if

My dealer was able to give me (on paper from within BMW) the estimated date my car will be ready and shipped from the VPC. My car was affected and has been at the VPC for two weeks. I think too many people are drumming uo theories on here in stead of giving it time. The cars will be fixed in the next two weeks.

The memo with the supposed May 27th parts date (in this thread) cuts that number down quite a bit to around 500 cars. Unfortunately, it’s mostly 2-series cars

I'm taking that document with a huge grain of salt and would rather go by BMW bulletins. Also, I just found out that Canada as a whole has about 500 VIN's affected so it's hard to believe that that total affected VINs for 340 U.S.-based dealerships equals that of the VIN's Canada-wide.
