N63(50i) Software Recall
I just wanted to give everybody a heads up...I dropped off my 50i this morning for basic service(oil change, brake fluid flush, new spark plugs, and a new cabin filter) and just received a text from my SA at Ray Catena BMW

According to my SA, the plugs were changed back in February 2015 while I had it in for the N63 Campaign...somehow it came up when they took my key fob. I haven't experienced any issues with the truck, it runs perfect and pulls hard
I also asked them to check the front drive shaft even though that was changed as well during the N63 Campaign Last edited by Cattivo; 01-11-2016 at 05:02 PM.. |

I checked with my dealership and they are not aware of any recall for my X5. Please post SIB details if you have them. |

Original BMW parts and labor are guaranteed for 2 years, unlimited miles! - http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/service/warranty.html That bill BTW is outrageous ... Oil and filter change - $175 ... did you really pay those prices???

Cabin filter is a 30-min DIY (both inside and under the hood), with about $50 in parts for the filters. AFAIK, plugs weren't included in the N63 CCP, so I'm surprised that they did it as part of CCP for you. Do you have the extended maintenance plan? |

I'll get the recall info tomorrow I coded my truck using the BMWhat app, for some reason they only had my hazards on which I coded to double blink(euro style) and a few of their techs were hovering around my truck like a flock of vultures |

I just picked up the truck and as I expected they erased all my coding...truck runs pretty much the same
I attached the recall paperwork...this is only for N63 owners |

Ahh. . so they've finally released the 10k CBS update for the 2011's. When mine went in for the CCP, the one outstanding item I had was the update to the CSB for oil service from 15k to 10k (the update wasn't available yet).

It's too late for me to decode this letter. Need CliffsNotes! Is this different from the original N63 campaign?
Already had my coding wiped out once for the N63 campaign, don't want that to happen again. But can't live w/o custom coding |

I also had them check the front drive shaft to make sure it has the new part # which was also changed during the N63 campaign Looks like I will have to re-code the truck this weekend |
