My car arrived last week and was suppose to pick it up last Friday. That following Saturday my CA notified me about the recall. Kinda glad I didnt pick it up for one day and then have to give it back. I stopped by my dealership today and it outside in the "service" lot.

Do you have a brand new, not exactly cheap car that you ordered 6+ months ago, sitting at the dealership with original pick-up scheduled today and yet you can't go pick it up because yesterday you were told the brand new car you just bought is being recalled for a problem that shouldn't have happened in the first place?

Didn't think so.

If you want to solve world hunger, this is not the forum for you.

It doesn't look like this have affected production as it looks like quite a few people on here (including myself) either had their build start this week or planned for next week. I haven't seen anyone on here that has complained about their production being delayed either.

Do you know if the new list is just adding later sequence vins as they are found to have left the factory, or are they going back to earlier-delivered vehicles as well? Thanks.

My car (delivered) isn't on the list but falls right in the middle of the VINs.

My dealer says there is nothing showing for my car. He said his experience with BMW is that for cars already delivered, they will recall them once the fix is available unless there is a risk of injury/failure, etc. So, his comment is either my car isn't impacted or they won't know until they get a note from BMW to pull the car in to be fixed but that won't happen until they have a fix and the replacement parts. That is, if anything, it is a normal service call and visit.

Thanks. Mine (also delivered) was May 18 build and the vin precedes all the other v series. I was wondering if I was "out of the woods". Sounds like maybe not. Interesting. Thanks for this.

Not yet, but if/when I do I will make sure to post it.

What gthal said is correct - my GM delivered an M4 convertible a few weeks back that is now part of the recall and customer can keep it until fix is available. Affected cars are still rolling in and my GM expects that to continue as they find out just how deep the (sh*t)hole really is.

Also, a worldwide stop-sale and stop-delivery has now been issued for the M2 according to my guys. Not sure on other M's.

BMW cannot force a person to return their car until a fix is ready but can hold those not delivered.

Case in point. I received a recall for my X5 airbag, saying if it goes off, I could die from the shrapnel ! Parts are not available and not expect to late summer early fall. So if you got them (M2), smoke them

The new list is not out yet but they added specific vins to an update in the system as of 7/21. Anybody that PM me their vin I will check it again tomorrow. It's now more than 202 cars and it's going to be awhile. No parts available.

Reading up on the f80/82 forum,there has been mention of 1200+ vehicles being affected....that's quite a lot by anybody's standards.

It's " beyond ridiculous" for them to hold your car until it's actually functioning properly so that you CAN actually drive it ?!!!


Wow. Just wow. Clearly you are frustrated , you seem to have lost touch with reality a bit.

I think he meant it more as it shouldn't have happened rather than they having to hold and repair.

I'm frustrated because I got photos and scheduled the pick up - only to get a call the next day and have my pick up cancelled. Had I not been traveling I would've picked up the car...

Some more feedback from my guys:

New list issued last night, however not all cars on it have a bad rear diff. They were simply part of a batch that had a few bad ones, but BMW is replacing all to avoid any future trouble.

List is 3800+ and climbing, my guys think all cars built in that period will now be recalled.

That just confirms how many BMWs, even M cars that BMW can pump out in a short period of time and against the whole conspiracy theory that BMW was intentionally limiting the M2 production.
