Has anyone else heard about this? Haven't heard yet if I'm affected

Yeah I'm going to find out, I don't like that. I spoke to my CA today and he didn't mention anything.

Similar to my thread about the F87 knee bags, we can use this to document issues as they arise. Hopefully nobody gets held up!

It literally says Oct.23 production date only. This can't affect too many cars.

There can't be more than a handful of M2s in the world built on that single day. Going to be a good amount of work to replace. Would be nice if they installed a crank hub upgrade while they have everything torn apart ;-)

People got some poor reading comprehension and too quick to panic.
Literally says M2C's produced on Oct 23, 2020. In all likelihood, on that day an error during assembly was identified (for instance, someone forgot to use engine assembly lube on that day and maybe only on some units on that day) . They aren't saying there is a blanket problem with all S55 bearings. Stop over reacting. |

However, at a second read it is stating that is only one day of production for the M2C. As someone replied above, the other dates correspond to the other vehicles mentioned. |

No way. My car was produced late August and just arrived at port beginning of Nov. It takes a couple of months to get from Germany to the West Coast. I've had a couple of custom BMW orders and the ships can't make it in less than a month from Europe to the West Coast.

I picked up mines today. My CA said they haven't heard anything about it, so I took off LOL. Maybe when I take it for break in service I'll hear something.
