Considering its only listed between a very narrow time period. It leads me to believe it's not an overall flaw with components of the motor. The 2021 models have been being built prior to this and none are named in the recall.

Hopefully clarification will be provided into next week, it sucks that the information was dropped on a Friday from what appears to be a "leak" and nothing offical from BMW yet.

I'm hoping for the best possible outcome. I know some people were already waiting on their cars, who already had stop sales and now they are hit with this as well.
It's not a leak, and it's official. A dealer tried to sell me an in stock M3 yesterday, I looked up the VIN, saw it was affected by the main bearing issue, told them about the issue, they checked their systems, and their day was ruined as the stop sale was confirmed and they can't sell the vehicle.
I wonder did they know and we're trying to get the cash in the door or would they not have actually been able to sell it if they tried to push it through?!
