Crap, I have a week 23 build and did a Euro Delivery on it. The car is currently on the ship.
Does anyone know if this would be replaced at the VDC? Or would the dealer need to replace it? Last edited by maldoror; 07-19-2016 at 01:46 PM.. |

How do we find out if our car is affected? (I am in customs right now post-ED). Can we access this information online?

I just called Genius and they said the vehicles impacted had not yet been identified. I also did ED and already have the car.

This sucks - I am trying to see if they'll let me take my car as is next week ED and then the rear diff gets fixed here at VDC.
Right now they are offering me 2 options. 1) Get a substitute car for my ED trip - provided by BMW - unsure if its anywhere near equivalent and wait for delivery in the US. 2) Cancel my ED trip altogether and the car gets shipped directly to dealer.

Its not a huge deal I'm sure and BMW will take care of it. I'm a week 20 and finished production 5/17. I guess I'll find out Friday when I take it in for the 1200 mile service. However those with ED I hope it doesn't affect them terribly.

Genius told me there were no holds on mine also but then looked deeper at the notification and said the bit about the impacted vehicles have not yet been identified. My F80 is 6MT.

Its a huge deal for me because I waited 3 months for my car and to see it and break it in while in Europe. Now I am being offered a substitute car to drive during my European trip - not what I was looking forward to. From what I read from the guy who ordered Atlantis Blue E9x M3 and when he did ED, saw that he was given ATLANTIC blue E9x M3 - BMW gave him a 5-series instead of an M3 to use while in Europe.

Are these for both manual and DCT ? I have the M4 ZCP with 6spd manual gearbox and my understanding was that the rear differential is different in manual comparing to DCT transmissions .

This pains me. I know it's for the best, but it still hurts. I had a 340i that I ordered back in February that was stuck at the VPC for an open campaign. The whole damn fuel tank had to be replaced.
