Enough with the fear mongering already. Not saying it won’t ultimately be an engine replacement, but you guys act like you have any knowledge of what’s occurring or what the fix is already is laughable. |

Just spoke to BMW Australia - guy says parts have been ordered but not sent yet by Germany. He couldn't confirm if Air or Sea.
Dealership has still no idea what the process is - when looking up what part is required he gets a blank. So they don't know what needs doing. |

Basically asked me what's the rush 😂 All he had was we have requested and ordered the required parts - the dealership will let you know once there is an update. However the dealership has no idea. One thing odd was - dealership saying "happy to return your deposit if you want something else - as we will be able to sell this vehicle quickly once it's ready." Don't think they really care. |

My sales director told me the same thing a week ago that parts have been ordered but does not know what. He even went into detail stating that it has arrived at port but cannot be delivered due to ships not being able to dock. I took it with a grain of salt when he said that but I guess he knew something. |

this is like a huge game of telephone. i'd advise not listening to anyone...or repeating what they said....until there is something official from BMW.

I understand the general sentiment of waiting but I believe alot of members’ frustration stems from not only a lack of information/official communication but also the conflicting info (stop sale showing on the recall website > then not > recall still showing in dealer databases) for two weeks and counting.
Throw on top of all this, the fact people paid decent money for these cars… By not providing any information, buyers are obviously filling in the void of information with their own personal experiences/narratives… |

Hi guys
Just got info from the principal of the dealership. Whole car needs to be stripped (Engine, gearbox, exhaust, front diff). It is a 40hour job, and parts are on order from Germany. The best case scenario is End of November, but could be even 2022. In their defence he was very apologetic - it's an issue from the production line. Offered full refund as well as. $5k discount on any other car. |

My car is currently at the port storage facilty in Port Kembla (arrived last week). Production date was 30 July. It will likely to be shipped to BMW's Mulgrave facility where they will do the rebuild/replacement (this facility is much more capable than dealerships). BMW will then release the vehicle to the dealer. Likely 2 months, but agree with above, may blow out to early 22. I was also offered full refund, etc. But... Also note - whilst the 4,000-odd affected cars worldwide (Australia has 114 affected vehicles) are being fixed - the parts (or engines) will not be going to new cars to be produced - rather to fixing these vehicles. So cars to be produced in the short to medium term will all be pushed back. So re-ordering will likely mean another 9+ months minimum time to delivery. Sigh. |

I’ll take what you are saying in good faith but a part of me believes you are either spreading misinformation or you are a BMW-insider dropping legit information anonymously. |

I don't think it's news that an potential engine change will require taking apart quite a bit of the car. Waiting for some more info from BMW themselves, maybe a work order copy from a dealer of all the parts and such required. Until then, lets just hope for the best. |

The quoted numbers were dropped into the conversation by the DP (maybe accidentally). I promised earlier on this thread that I would post information as I became aware of it. Thats all. I personally have appreciated knowing what is happening from others' posts, and I'm simply returning the favour. Yes, I finally joined as a member to post on/follow this thread, as I am affected by something like this for the first time (this will be Beemer #7). I'm quite pissed about it, and am trying to find out as much as I can before deciding whether to keep this car or look at other options. No, I do not work for BMW, nor am I involved in the industry. And I know nothing about Merda or his/her situation. Last edited by eMMit; 10-20-2021 at 01:52 AM.. |

This is the number you can call to get the info - feel free to do so - 03 9264 4000 - which is customer service. Provide your FL number and they will advise. Photo attached for my vehicle - even though I'm in the process of negotiating a deal on a m5 demo. Let's see what happens. |
