Another (diff / bolt related) recall?
Just saw on a posting on the Bimmerfest forum that there may be another recall, related to incorrectly re-used bolts on some cars that had the diff replaced. Pic of the affected VINs

Interesting. Dealers were all forewarned that the bolts were not re-usable, so not sure why they'd go ahead and install them.
I had to wait almost 10 more days after the diff was delivered for the bolts to arrive. |

Yes, it is strange. We were in the same boat. I asked my sales manager to write and confirm to me that both the diff and bolts were replaced prior to picking up my car.

My VIN is on the list. I've asked my CA to make sure they have the parts and perform the bolt replacement when I bring the car in for the 1200-mile break-in service.

Are they stupid?! I'd love to see what people would say if this whole thing happened with some other brand like, say, Alfa Romeo...
