The dealer just called me back after talking to their Regional for BMW Canada. According to my dealer, BMW Canada are well aware that this as a major problem for the X5 M-Sports and X5Ms. I was told because these vehicles represent only 1-2% of total Canadian sales, there was no recall issued. Apparently, BMW Canada are working with the dealers to resolve matters on an individual basis. They are not issuing new factory-direct rocker panels and fender flares, but they will reimburse the dealer for the cost of having the parts professionally painted. My dealer is also paying for the cost of the PPF.
So for me there's no change since yesterday... rockers/flares get painted on Weds, and they apply the PPF the first week of May.
I do feel somewhat vindicated that BMW Canada have acknowledged they are well aware of this issue.
So for you guys calling BMWNA and getting the same response "we have not heard of this issue" kindly refer them to BMW Canada.
