My car didn't list a recall on BMWs website, but maybe it hasn't been updated yet?

I've heard the same noise on mine a couple times now. First time it freaked me out, then I looked online and I saw that this was a regular thing where rocks would get lodged in between the heat shield.

I wish on the BMW E46 they would have issued a recall on the cheap plastic xenon headlights, but no I was stuck to fix that myself. Long story short, if multiple people are not reported dead due directly to the same faulty part BMW doesn't have to do anything. So at least they are doing something about these faulty parts |

I shouldn't be happy, they sold a faulty product. If this was anything else - a blender, a pressure washer, a car lift, etc. - nobody would be happy if the product came out of the box broken, needing parts to be repaired right away. Just because we are all BMW fanboys it doesn't excuse them from putting out a quality product. Things like this do not reflect well on the brand as a whole, and can hamper future sales or repeat customers. So yes, BMW fucked up and is fixing it (and it's not voluntary, it's mandatory) but that doesn't excuse them from making these huge mistakes in the first place, nor does it excuse its customers from being upset at how the issue is being handled (I've detailed my M2 recall saga before, won't go into it here). |

BMW more than likely didn't create the bad parts in the M2 diff nor did they make the parts for the subframe and they aren't any more " To blame" than the dozen and a half manufacturers that did their due diligence in selecting takata to make airbags for them. BMW did create a quality product, however the parts with which it was created appeared to have failed. That doesn't make the M2 itself not a quality product. Besides, it's still under warranty. This won't be the last M car that has recalls on it and it certainly isn't the first. The e46 M3 for example had faulty oil pumps and BMW even extended the warranty on that part to 100k. I sure don't hear a lot of people talking about how that wasn't a quality product |

What if anything does this say about those who switched from rubber subframe bushings to solid in other cars such as the E90, E92, and E93? Will an issue arise?

I have a 2016 M3. Just checked the recall search on bmwusa.com (google bmw recall if you don't have the link) and it said that my car is good--no open recalls. So maybe not all 2016M3s?

This is the 3rd generation of sub-frame bolt issues on M3s, with the E46 and E92 known for bolts shearing. Seriously, does this company not learn from past mistakes?
