Yeah, that's scary. I have bought cars at different dealerships and take them to yet another for service. In a case like this I doubt I would have that option. Glad to know that mine is likely a VDC repair..

A pretty obvious reason not to leave your car at the dealership.

I saw somewhere on the thread that people were asking about production being stopped or affected... no problems whatsoever... Just had a call with them at the Welt all is fine... my car is scheduled for pick up on week 46... so don't panic...

After having my M5 towed to dealer last week, I stopped in to check on it yesterday. Car was being stored in service garage with hard water stains and dust/dirt all over it! Promptly had them wash it and took my baby home, where she will remain until stupid oil pump arrives.

Just received notification that my oil pump is in. My M6 was flatbedded to the dealer and should be complete this afternoon.
I hope this brings a measure of relief to those of you affected by the recall. |

I assume so. Otherwise he would not have come to pick up the car. There would be no point as the agreement was I'd keep it in my garage. If we held it at the dealer he would have had to take it in and out of their service garage. Plus I could be assured it was safe. On the other hand we'll see.

It's been 11 days for me and the dealership is still without any news! I requested the car be fixed in Greenville/Spartenburg SC. Still no response from either! I did get an initial call from BMW NA on Sept 21. All has been silent since!

My dealer just recieved their first pump. Unfortunately it's not for my car unless I can pay someone off. They included a picture with the email.

Just spoke to Anthony from BMW NA and he confirmed that 124 of 287 oil pumps has been shipped out to the dealers with the affected VIN number. He had to make sure if my VIN number was on the list, but was not able to confirm. I will get an email from him by tonight if I am on the list of shipment or not. He also stated that the remaining pumps will get shipped out by the end of the week. Hopefully I am a part of the 287. On a side note, my dealership (CA or SA) has no clue on what is going on, they stated that the parts are not available to order and there is no instructions on how to get the parts.
