I've been told that system could be behind. You should call BMW Genius to get an update. I also got my VIN number today. If they were holding up production I doubt they would let mine go into 150 and assign a VIN so quickly.

VPC Hold for Rear Differential
Quote:
I'm taking a 'wait and see' attitude to this schedule. My SA said they pulled all M3s/M4s in stock because of the stop sell order and that it is best that they do the repair at the VPC vs. the dealership. Mentioned the VPC has full capabilities, possibly even more that the dealership. Again, wait and see... |

It does. Full body/paint shop and installers who run through tens of thousands of cars a day so they are well used to installing things whereas a dealer tech might not be as experienced.

This tells me BMW doesn't know what to do about it yet... or the fix is too expensive to roll out to thousands of cars so they are looking for a better option. I really feel for those waiting...

Minor / unofficial update:
Had the call with my sales manager this afternoon. He mentioned that his contact told him unofficially that the fix instructions will be out "tonight or tomorrow". And that parts have already been ordered and are enroute, but does not have a firm ETA. His hope is that if the parts arrive in the next 4-5 days, that he will get it installed and have my car to me next week. This is not great news since its all still fairly speculative. |

The 435i GC actually impressed me quite a bit, would definitely have it as a back up car for long trips, etc. Plus that hatch is awesome! you can fit so much stuff in in. |
