It has been ready for shipping since August 5th, at one point I was told that it had shipped, but then three days later it "unshipped" in the system, and it remains in NJ to this day. I was wondering if there was anyone else that has had a similar experience, who was not subject to the differential issue.

I had a similar issue, car stayed at VPC for 4 weeks in july and genius and dealer couldn't figure out why. Call the ED people, they are good. They can call VPC right there instead of just BSing. number is 800-032-0831. Mine had the windshield replaced that's why the delay. Good luck

Well it is on the truck - a picture to prove it - may make it here by 8. If not seems like it will be 1st thing in the morning.

Yeh that's a shame. He was a bit upset. He would heave been bored after a couple of hours anyway

Just left my car at the dealer for the 2000km service. They told me that they would open the diff and check the serial number to see if my car should be fixed (02 July production date). They got spare diffs in stock but we will wait a couple of weeks to switch it since I need the car. Unfortunately changing diff means another 2000km break in period.

I also got the full technical document with part numbers and other info, it's in Swedish but I can upload some details if anyone is interested. It's for internal use only so I can't upload all of it.

Halewafa · 08-17-2016, 08:28 AM

Starting to get a little antsy. My car had all repairs showing complete Monday morning with nothing else needing to be done. For some reason there still isn't even an estimated departure date for PCD. Was hopeful that I would pick it up next week but that's quickly fading.

Just picked my up SO 2016 M4 yesterday in Minneapolis. So glad I cancelled my original order and got this one. The color is stunning, and the car itself is amazing... I'll try and post pics if I figure out how to do it.. This dealership had about 10 M4s for sale on the showroom floor. Great people to deal with, love the car. Can't wait until I figure out exactly how to operate everything..

aussieintexas · 08-17-2016, 10:39 AM

Car has arrived - about to drive out. Probably 17 hours to Houston with I-10 apparently still blocked. Have to head north to I-20 I think.
Hassles to the last minute with transport delivery. People speaketh with forked tongue!
Doesn't matter anymore.

What is the Latest Status on the Differential Campaign to replace those installed at Factory during June, 2016 production. Car is sitting at Local Tx dealership Awaiting Replacement of this Essential driveline Component,, Am told it may be Mid-Sept, 2016 before Corrective Action Completed!!

Halewafa · 08-17-2016, 12:23 PM

Was told by the lady I've been working with for the past two weeks in customer relations that PCD was going to contact my CA today regarding pickup dates. Will let you know what I hear back. Diff repair finished Monday morning. Was hoping for this Friday, pretty sure that's not going to happen. Would be happy with next week though!

Just been calling the Genius every day, lol. It's had the status of "work order opened" since July 15th. Finally when I called Monday morning they said it's been updated to "work order complete". Told the lady in customer relations about the update and she said she would confirm with management at VPC, which she did.
