No big deal! $100k car that you've waited months for now has a potentially bad engine, no word or communication from BMW with the exception of taking down the site that provided the intel which started this thread to begin with, almost a week ago.
I was ready to order one of these loads a week ago. I find this troubling and less than confidence inspiring and I doubt that this is an isolated issue that affects a small portion of cars because I'm a cynic and realist and have watched these types of issues occur with almost every generation of M.
I really want one of these cars and feel they are the best value for the money, I empathize with everyone affected from the sidelines...but some of you need to grow some balls and get loud before you get nothing. Be pushovers with your significant others, not with your hundred thousand dollar automobiles.

actually the world is the way it is because of blowhards like yourself who act without proper knowledge. Lets review the facts:
1- there is no official recall yet.
2- it seems like a very small amount of cars are affected
those are the only facts so far. Everything is else is speculation. So what exactly are you wanting us to get loud about? yell at the SA who has nothing to do with this? or yell at the salesman? write an angry email to the GM?
the proper way to do handle this is to wait and see what will need to be done and how it will be done. Will this require an engine replacement? Will it take a few months to resolve? will i have a comparable loaner to drive?
once you have all the facts laid out in front of you, then you can figure out the course of action. But yelling and screaming like a crazy person from the get go will get you nowhere. I'm a business owner and deal with people. Anyone who comes at me yelling and screaming will get their ass booted out the door. Those that come at me calmly and reasonably will get the best outcome.
so relax
