Oil pump issue in Canada

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I searched this forum and read the oil pump thread but didn't see any Canadian owners affected by the oil pump issue yet.

However Transport Canada says 78 cars are affected... Here

Anybody have any problems in Canada?

Yup. Mine is affected, been at the dealer for over two weeks now. Mine is the only one that was affected from my dealer. Lucky me. Best part is by the time I get it back, it will probably just go straight into the garage for the long sleep till next April.

Why are you storing it? Its a very capable car in the winter...unless you have a daily driver or SUV you prefer to drive?

Alberta winters = Hell on Earth.

Plus, the City of Edmonton plow side streets maybe 3 time during the winter. 4"-6" ruts I shit you not. I pretty much drive my 2500 HD Duramax all winter cause it is a beast. My X5M was a champ with winter tires, but I couldn't justify keeping it and the M5.

We'll see, if we have a mild winter maybe I will drive it. Two years ago we had 52" of snow fall in January alone.

I came very close to winter driving mine, but a experiencing a spring snowstorm in my 335 xDrive (with snow tires) convinced me that for the fun factor alone, the AWD had to stay.
