What tool u r using to find out? I am just curious

I have a close relationship with one of the dealerships where I buy/lease my vehicles and send referrals to.

A recall like this is something I would request info on to keep the referral process trouble-free for prospective clients and prevent them from running into any issues during the purchase and delivery process.

Just got back from my CA. He said that his boss is aware of the information (the flyer about May 27th). Whatever that means by “is aware of”

For all we know, that flyer/document just might be accurate for U.S.-based VIN's, if not for RoW, but I do not like guessing for these types situations where it can potentially make/break a sale. I can only accurately inform people of the information I know of from BMW SIBs. There is no firm ETA for Canada, maybe there is for the U.S.

I talked to my SA, the owner of the BMW auto group I bought from, and a direct BMW company customer service rep. Between the 3 of them they said they have no update and no estimate of time.

I would just ignore the bmw company customer service, their response is way too official and vague .

This matches what I heard from the central USA rep

I understand that. But the owner of the dealership, who j know wants to keep me happy and keep my business is not even hinting at knowing of a solution. He has been honest in saying he knows of no solution or ETA.

That’s what I’m afraid of. If the 27th was even remotely accurate then why are PCDs being cancelled for the 10th and 12th. Sigh.

I’m assuming in addition to getting parts shipped, instructions and TSBs need to be written

Likewise based on meeting with my CA on Friday. We pulled up the bulletin together on his system, however a resolution had not yet been posted. My M2C has been grounded at the Brunswick GA port flagged as stop sale. I have a July 8th delivery scheduled at the Performance Center. Hopeful a fix will be issued in time.

"Hopefully" yeah but I'm sick of hoping and waiting with no information. I've started the official complaint process about getting my money back for the car - which means I'm going to have to tell 5-6 different people the exact same thing

Sorry for not reading the entire 14 pages but are 18 builds not included in the recall? It's just a bad batch starting in march of 19 right?

Good luck to others waiting.

I had almost the exact situation. My production finish date was May 9th. Just today finally is my car heading to port. Carrier selection hasn't even been made yet.

Sorry for ur situation. I think the dealer should at least allow u to cancel your purchase. Let me know if you need some legal advises.

Update for Canadian VIN's:

Limited supply of knee airbags are being shipped from Germany on May 29th. It takes about 1-1.5 weeks to arrive.

Assuming the same time frame for U.S. dealerships, that could be the reason why PCD deliveries are being cancelled as they parts will only be arriving second week of June at the earliest and that's not including installation.

I think it's prior to March 19th, as I was told my March 12th build had the recall when I did my 1200 mile service last week

Thanks for the information. I hope that take U.S higher priority than Canada . Lol, just joking

This link was posted a few pages ago where you can enter your VIN. https://www.bmwusa.com/safety-and-emission-recalls.html

My M2C got caught in the stop delivery the day before I was scheduled to get it a couple weeks ago through ED. As far as I know the car is still in Germany and it's showing the airbag recall in the database. That said, I assume BMW is updating the database regularly.

Parts start arriving (not shipped) on May 27th is what I heard.

My dealer told me late May early June. So I think parts for the US have already been shipped( I could be wrong). That also means US markets first then Canada market...?
