But I'm glad the engine will arrive next week. Hopefully you'll be up and driving by early the following week. It goes without saying, but don't forget to break the 'new' engine in

I've also asked whether or not I'll be subject to another 1200 mile break in. The SA "thinks" the engine may come broken in and the diff fluid has already been changed in the car, so he doesn't "think" I'll need to do another break in. Obviously this is just him speculating. Who knows. |

Blessing in disguised, my friend. A chance for a new & better beginning. I'd be happy as hell. Brake-in is not too bad with the M4. What I don't like is that the ODO is not going to reflect the miles on the new engine.

The odo thing is what it is. You get a replacement motor at 60k miles, odo will stay at 60k miles (unless its done somewhere not so legit). Odo should never change. I agree, the fact that its got 2500 miles on it with a motor with 0 miles on it doesn't match up, but that's the way it is. Nothing I can do about it. Again, glad I leased this one. I just want it back! |

As of yesterday, I’m being told by my SA they’re still expecting the engine by the end of this week. He said the ETA is end of week with no confirmed date, which seems odd and doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies. I pressed him on how they could have an ETA for end of week with no confirmed date. He said this is typical for orders coming from Germany; they do not get tracking. I pressed further and said do you really think it is showing up this week? He responded simply with “Friday.” I hope he’s right! Last edited by KnightedBMW; 01-18-2022 at 10:30 AM.. |

Today’s update:
SA confirms engine is in the US and has been dispatched for shipment to the dealer! Said it should be there tomorrow (possibly Monday). I’m seriously in shock that it arrived! |

That is awesome news. How long were they thinking the work would take once it’s at the service department?

My car also falls under the dates of affected build dates, but my car doesnt show up as needing anything. I see 2 options that I would be considering if my car was affected.
1. No dealerships want drama. Besides getting a lawyer involved, I had a friend have an issue with a brand new car he'd bought at a dealer. He bought the car on a night when it was pouring rain, so, the dealer agreed for him to come back at a later date, for a full detail. He came back a week later, with over 800 miles on the car to get the car detailed. Well, they used a harsh acid to remove some water spots on the windows, and some had leaked onto the sills and eaten the paint, which started to rust. The dealer offered to fix it, my buddy wanted a new car. Dealer said, no way. He calls Channel 3 news, one of those "Channel 3 on your side" teams brought a bunch of cameras down to the dealer, and got into the sales managers and the service guys faces, and he ended up with a new car. 2. Get BMW to agree to get you out of the lease, and order another car, and when the car gets here, trade yours in. Used cars are bringing top dollar, right now. You're still probably in positive equity.

As for getting them to buy it back, then what? Go back out into the car market? No thanks. It’s a nightmare out there as I’m sure you’re aware. Even if BMW got me another allocation, look at all the QC, stop sale delays, etc. Assuming the car gets fixed, just give it back to me. But I agree, if this becomes more of an issue stemming from the repair, they will be taking it back, one way or another. |

Update: engine is at the dealer! Waiting on estimated timeframe for completion. Obviously want this done right.
SA says master tech stated this will all be done by end of the month but waiting to get a more solid timeframe. Biggest hurdle was getting the engine here from Germany, so we’re definitely moving in the right direction! |

I'll be happy with a new engine, myself, if the recall extends to included my car. Your suggestion would probably sit on the table as an option if things got ugly, but not if BMW and the dealership show due diligence.

I think you're lucky to get a new motor in the timeframe they were able to get it. This is still a fairly fresh issue, and I can't imagine there are many people at the stage you're at, with getting the motor replaced. I believe people are in for long wait times.

I can’t imagine an engine coming from Germany much quicker than it did under the circumstances and I’m happy I got in when I did as you’re right, the delays will probably begin to mount if there’s many others in this situation. |

I apologize for this post
Is there an easy way to determine if my car which I have not taken delivery yet(in Mexico)is affected by this recall? I really appreciate the forum members help |
