Good to hear there is progress in Canada. My car has been at Bavaria BMW in Edmonton for a couple weeks. I still havent heard anything back from SA or manager. But sounds like I should be expecting a call soon.

Also, for perspective, the first batch of priority parts was a whole 5...no joke, FIVE...differentials, missing the mounting nuts too which came a week later. So be prepared for a slow process. |

Well the manager seemed really pressured to get my car off the lot. Its been sitting outside for awhile and I just made them park it in their parkade because of potential hail (prarie weather for ya). So from the sounds of it I should just get ready for my winter tire set up. |

Someone posted this in the m3 forums to help track how long this process is taking for everyone. Great idea just enter some basic info:

Recall on diff
Hey Guys-- I have perused this thread, but I'm not sure if anyone has asked/answered whether this affects drive-ability of the vehicle?
I am finalizing the purchase of a used M2 and the VIN has been checked and it's one of the ones affected. I have an e34 and until recently an e46 M3, so I have zero experience with an electronic rear-diff. Not sue if I can still drive the car, while I wait for my turn for it to be replaced, or what? Thx. |

It is not a safety issue for now - mostly noise and rough operation. At 10-15K miles however, there is potential for gear and/or clutch pack failure. |

1. New vendor used for piece parts that go in the diff, and this batch has parts from the new vendor. 2. Original vendor machined some parts with a batch of material that has been found to be faulty for one reason or another. 3. Original vendor changed their process in a bad way without notifiying BMW, and now BMW found out. I wouldn't worry about it. |

Seems like the daily chatter in this thread has subsided. Is it safe to assume the repairs are now happening at the VPC and cars are being delivered?
My M2 went into production last week (on schedule) so I'm curious to know if I'll be facing a logjam once it hits the VPC in NJ late Sept / early Oct. |
