"he's kidding lol"
I actually looked for it ! not fun getting old. carl

fujison82 · 01-28-2019, 04:54 PM

Does anyone know if this affects delivered M2Cs and if so, what's the cut off production date that is included with this issue?

BigBear2016 · 01-29-2019, 04:32 PM

my dealer says car is ready for pick up.

reports the recall didn't effect 2 series... kinda weird

BigBear2016 · 01-29-2019, 05:53 PM

Anyone else also told stop sale over?

carl44 · 01-29-2019, 08:01 PM

what was the real problem with the tail light? carl

glachhman3 · 01-29-2019, 11:22 PM

Swapped mine to euro tails I wonder what the issue is

M2see · 01-30-2019, 02:56 AM

My car is held up at the port awaiting replacement parts to address this issue, so impacts Australian spec builds as well.

BigBear2016 · 01-30-2019, 09:32 AM

I called bmw - there is a tail light stop sale for M2C and X1, and most of them effected are being fixed at port- my VIN wasn't effected so I'm going to pick up once weather cooperates

Faikius · 01-30-2019, 10:03 AM

Just got word my car has been released from port and should be on a truck this afternoon. Hope the rest of you guys get good news soon as well.

Lol there's a recall but no one knows what it is.

It's a bracket or wtf?

CosmosMpower · 01-30-2019, 11:36 AM

Hrmm I called BMW Genius to see if my car boarded a boat yet and he said there were no open recalls on my M2C which was definitely built in the recall time period.

do you trust the genius to know how to check the DAR? Our geniuses definitely wouldn't know how to do that.

I was told that the work order for my car was completed this morning and has been released to carrier. It's scheduled to arrive at the dealership (norcal) on Feb 1st. My car was affected by the stop-sale and was stuck at the VDC since Jan 16.

kpham · 01-31-2019, 08:14 AM

Mine was affected by the "stop sell", but I just got word that my delivery date is Monday February 4th!!!!! I guess the part came in.

aerokubectl · 02-01-2019, 12:30 AM

So some bracket is loose ?

srwatters · 02-01-2019, 02:17 AM

I wonder if this is why my car is "stuck" in final assembly. It entered this state last week on Wednesday Jan 23 and today still sits there... My ED in Munich is scheduled in two weeks on Friday Feb 15th...

That's just the state it sits in before ED, a stop sale would only affect it at the port if it affects it at all.

aWanderlustSeoul · 02-01-2019, 01:43 PM

I texted my CA yesterday and he said the recall was mainly for the X1 and BMW briefly added the 2 series to the recall and then removed it last week whatever that means.

He said it's a bracket on the tail light and not to be surprised if the recall pops up again. As far as I'm aware my car is not impacted but BMW may not have updated all the impacted vins or minimal M2Cs are impacted by this recall.

AlpsRider · 02-01-2019, 08:10 PM

I have removed the tail lights on both my old M235i and my new M2C. There is no bracket as far as I could see the unit just plugs into the body with rubber buttons and a few bolts.

d1amondl1l · 02-16-2019, 01:26 PM

I'm having the same issue, but with my 340i GT. Car has been at the VPC in Oxnard since 2/6/19, with very little information provided. It's like pulling teeth to find out anything. This thread provided me more information than BMW Genius and my sales rep!
