In many ways the M3/4 define the brand and act as a halo car for much of the line. BMW will want to ensure that continues. |

BMW just needs to offer the affected VIN numbers to drop their cars off at the local dealer, have a truck come pick up the affected cars, take them to the airport, and fly them back to the factory. I'll take a rental, from BMW, of course.

Looks like I have the RAM stop sale and main bearing shell recall. The car I ordered is still “At Port”… I will not pay $90k for a car that needs an engine rebuild or replacement before I even drive it… I might pay $80k though.

My M3 started production sometime around September 8th and finished around the 27th of September. This is concerning news indeed. The UK website says my car is OK so fingers crossed. Good luck everybody

Someone here might pay more. Care to share your configuration and dealer?

There is alot of confusion on in this thread.
1. This is not the first year of the S58... it was in the X3M so the comments about how it is bad to buy the first model year don't apply. 2.This is a bad run of a batch during engine production. That is different than a systemic issue of engine architecture which hurts reliability. |

For those asking, after having spoken to my friend in munich, the "Bearing shell gate" seems to be effectively for those cars produce until september 23rd.
An accurate internal investigation is in progress at BMW ag.

Being in the homepage, this thread has attracted a lot of "typical" G8x trolls.
Their contribution adds no value to the thread and hope we can stick on to the real discussion. |

Asked my SA about the recall and he said this is above his pay grade to discuss this with me. That doesn't sit right with me. What's preventing him from openly discussing it? He was able to discuss the RAM and camera stop sale, but not this. Doesn't make sense, unless there is more to this.
Anyone knows how long it takes for the US site to be updated with the recall? |

That said I bought a new year car because these days the manufacturers are forced to take care of their customers. They have a lot of oversight and legal obligation. My 2013 550i had oil leaks to the point I was eligible for a new engine. For oil leaks that forced me to add a quart of oil 3-4 times a year. I had all 8 injectors replaced ($10K charge) because they came to realize the 10% ethanol in the US was going to be a long term problem. Anyway I bought this car knowing that it would have issues. If I wanted something bullet proof I would have gotten a Honda. Nothing about this upsets me, because they are taking care of it. Darrell |
