During the takata airbag recall, I had to wait over 6 months for my D/S X5 airbag and another couple of months for my P/S airbag and that recall noticed was pretty serious...
What can happen as a result of this issue? In a crash where the air bag deploys, the air bag inflator housing may rupture and could cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. https://www.bmwusa.com/safety-and-em...ta-airbag.html Not sure why they are putting a stop on deliveries?

I guess it is what it is, but this stinks. My car is in Galveston, TX at the port, was to ship to dealer 5/9 with delivery to me 5/13. I normally couldn't care less except for the fact that I have less than 2-4 months to drive due to health (I have ALS). Of all the people that would be willing to sign a disclaimer, it would be me! A faulty knee airbag isn't going to kill me! Ha |

+1 my car is at the Southern California VPC now just sitting around waiting for this issue to be resolved. It's been 9 months since I ordered it, was supposed to have it this week.

9 months? I had a week 33 build, and it's only been 9 months since production of my car started. Your dealer must not have had an allocation.

If possible I would ditch the M2c and pick up a Mustang performance pack 1 or camaro zl1 (which I would assume are readily available) and drive the snot out of it while you can. And thank you for putting everything into perspective while I sit here sulking over my car being delayed; how insignificant and unimportant it really is. Best of luck to you. |

I’m in Munich for an ED on an m2 comp today and have been emailed that the car won’t be ready and that they will be providing a rental in lieu of that.
I will let you know what I hear. |

So I was able to go through the “meeting my car” process and even got to start it up on the rotating pad. But yes, they are not releasing them into the wild currently. They were originally going to give us a 7-series(wow!) to continue our trip with but I asked whether something a little smaller would be doable. They found us an M140i fastback instead. It’s possible that a fix will be identified soon but there is no ETA for resolution yet so I am not holding my breath. Throughout they have been both extremely professional and apologetic.
