How many M2s are they even going to sell in Sweden? Three? Sorry if all three of you were misled by the lack of a regional disclaimer. Congrats on your delivery. One down, two to go.

Yes, because there is just one other country in the World besides the U.S. where they sell M2s.

You obviously know very little about the world outside your small bubble. Let me guess, you're a Trump voter

BMW themselves, check the main forum thread for some more detailed info.
Not all cars are getting crappy diffs either, it's luck of the draw at this point, but they are fully aware of which cars get them, a big improvement over before where they started with a 200 car list and are now at 10,000+ What it comes down to is parts availability - they don't have enough good ones to keep cars coming off the line, so get the cars ready with a crappy diff then fix it later. |

I got the call, car was supposed to be collected tomorrow. Now I was told it will not be before September 5th which isn't that bad. Car production date June 9th (M2). When I asked why, I was told its regarding a recall related to the differential and that there are a couple of M2s which arrived last week who are still waiting.
I hope I don't get another excuse next week. |

My car was made approximately 10 days before yours and the VIN is almost the same minus 5. Doesn't mean that they make 15 cars per month, just thought I'd share. Since I have nothing better to do M2 related because of this recall/delay.

On the other hand, if the parts are ready and it will be fixed by Sept. 5th, then that is a better choice. |

Been there, done that... as much as my (UK) dealership would love me to take my M2 outta their way, BMW AG won't 'sign off' the car on the UK system, so its a no-go.

Never mind. You should Refuse delivery and just wait till this entire mess is over. That's always the best choice. That way someone that truly WANTS an M2 will get one ... |

Is the diff problem still going on brand new delivered M2's? Mine will be delivered at the end of november. Just wondering; how many days before delivery is the building proces of the car finished?

As far as I am aware, the car will be delivered with the 'problem differential' installed. They do not have 'good' differentials in stock sufficient to make more cars and upgrade cars already sold. So rather than stop production, they are shipping the new cars out with a known problem and will issue recalls on the cars at delivery. My dealer says the plan is to repair or replace the LSD at the 1200 mile scheduled 'new car check up.' Whether BMW will have sufficient parts in stock by then remains to be seen. But basically, your choice is to take delivery of a car with a known defect, drive it with extra care during break in and await a warranty/recall repair; or decline the car and wait until BMW has sufficient backlog of parts to deliver a car with the upgraded LSD. The latter likely means you would get back in the waiting list line for a car. I choose to take delivery, baby the car until I can have the LSD issue resolved, and rely on the warranty to protect me. I'm not waiting another six months to a year to get my car. As for the suggestion you will be required to 'waive' your warranty if you accept a car now, I doubt that. Such a waiver quite likely would be unenforceable; and besides, I doubt BMW wants the PR nightmare of having an army of angry buyers of its most ballyhooed model in years who were strongarmed into taking a defective car and forced to take on the risk of failure because BMW failed to source adequate parts for the new vehicles. Nor would it want lots of cars rejected and sitting at dealerships awaiting a buyer willing to waive warranty and roll the dice. |

I have a MY2017 and I was told by my CA that the MY2017 don't have the diff issue not sure how true that is. I also did my 1200mile break in service on Tuesday and my SA didn't mention any recalls. Well I just have to wait and see if BMW sends me anything.
