How did you find out? Can you share details so others affected can also check?

I've been told plane this time, the first batch via boat was 80%+ bad parts.

All thanks to the info in this thread.
You need to be nice but firm and contact the right people that can make it happen.
There was a list of BMW contact info published here several pages ago - page 23 - I'll say no more...

I just escalated through BMW NA.

It took a really long time for someone to get back to me, and honestly I'm not sure if I got moved up in the queue (order started as a week 16 build in Mar), or if this person is just able to track it for me.

Edit: I thought the comment above about the 80% bad parts thing was just someone trolling us

Just clarifying, you did ED and dropped off your car at Munich airport July 5th? And your car had its diff replaced and is now on a truck and will be at your dealer tomorrow?

Well I am finally on the road ...

Unfortunately my dealer stated that BMW still does not yet have a fix for the 2016 M4's. (as of last week Friday). I have a colleague who purchased his M4 from my dealer and his car is still standing on the lot ...

I hope for all of you perspective M4 owners that he is misinformed.

Good Luck.

Yes - that was correct when I got on a plane this morning but apparently someone's wires got crossed and there was another day's work on the bumper repairs from ED so now it is supposed to be released tomorrow and at the dealer Friday - but the diff has been replaced.

Thanks for the info. Which port is your car's VPC?

I ask because I did ED and dropped off at the Munich airport June, 7th!! A full month after you...

My car is at the New Jersey VPC. I'm told the diff is there but some bolts, etc... are still being brought in before they do the swap.

No set date for delivery yet as it's not on a truck.

It's a real bummer because I'm a track instructor here and my best friend (who I see once a year) is flying in Saturday specifically so we can go to a track day Monday. I don't think I have a prayer of getting the car in time.
