I like how that other post tells you about the data being sent along but not shown on the UK site.
mine says this:

"technicalCampaigns": [
{
"recallType": "no recall",
"defectCode": "0065480300",
"defectCodeDescription": "Retrofitting the receiver audio module",
----
"recallType": "no recall",
"defectCode": "0066570100",
"defectCodeDescription": "Checking the installation of the camera and TRSVC control unit, retrofitting if necessary"

also saw this but vin status is "closed" so looks like this was taken care of already.

"recallType": "no recall",
"defectCode": "STOP021673",
"defectCodeDescription": "G1x G2x G3x G8x F9x Check Installation Camera and Control Unit TRSVC",
"vinStatus": "Closed",

jpsimon · 10-10-2021, 01:44 PM

That’s the same as what mine shows (including the closed status)

Put your vin in here:

Seems the same as the open camera stop sale. More likely they created an updated stop sale code and closed the other one vs actually doing something on your car. My car has the exact same 3 with one closed.

I'm almost as excited as you! I'm about to pull the trigger on San Marino Blue but I want to see at least 1 G8X wearing it :-)

I’ll be posting a ton of photos when this finally gets here.

Geektechlive · 10-11-2021, 02:34 PM

kind of off topic but I was messing around with a VIN decoder online just to compare it to what BMW says. it either tells me its a bad VIN or I get an e46 eurospec 3 series.
anyone else try decoding their VIN and see the same thing?

Anyone know how long it takes from carrier to California? 3 weeks?

jpsimon · 10-11-2021, 04:28 PM

You can check the schedule on the carrier sites if you know what boat you’re on

Dolemite79 · 10-20-2021, 09:21 AM

This thread has gone silent so I figured i'd bring it back to life.

Has one gotten their cars yet?

Mine arrived at the baltimore VPC yesterday with an estimated delivery to the dealership on the 23rd of october but I still have the RAM and camera stop sales.

jimbethesda · 10-20-2021, 09:24 AM

Nope. Been at the Galveston VPC since Oct 8th. My camera stop sale was resolved yesterday, but I'm still waiting on the RAM. Another member's car that was on the same ship as mine had their RAM installed already, so I'm hopeful it won't take too much longer.

jpsimon · 10-20-2021, 10:37 AM

My car arrives at the destination port (NY/NJ) this Saturday... Then we play the stop sale squid game.

Geektechlive · 10-20-2021, 11:30 AM

My car is scheduled for 10/23 at Charleston. Rumor has it the parts could be there. Fingers crossed.
Hawaiian Highway is on its way to Brunswick by end of today(ish)
It's becoming more "real" for me.

jpsimon · 10-20-2021, 12:29 PM

I need to really start putting my F80 back to stock. So far I've put the stock exhaust back on.... now I need to do:

- Spoiler
- Rear Diffuser
- Side markers
- Steering Wheel
- Shift knob / boot
- Sell BM3 license

Some of these are simple, but the time adds up..

My fingers are crossed for you — given I’m right behind you (Olympian Highway is scheduled to dock in Charleston October 31). Hope ‘our’ VPC has a good supply of RAMs, and that the Performance Center delivery backlog is short!

if youre doing the PCD, they will ship it to Greer (the plant) to get retrofitted. i've been there since last week and both work orders are still open.

grantj1983 · 10-20-2021, 04:50 PM

Anyone know what the wait has been like for the RAM Stop Sale in Brunswick, GA VPC? My car is arriving there right now! I’m excited yet scared!

Yep, doing PCD. I assume you’ve not been offered a delivery date yet (until your work orders close); true?

My car should get there very early November, which puts delivery (after RAM retrofit) right around/after Thanksgiving.

nope. likely wont get one until the WO's are closed. just a waiting game, now. i've got the recall site bookmarked, so i check it religiously.

luckylingy · 10-20-2021, 06:53 PM

As will I, once it gets to Greer. Best of luck in getting done and not waiting much longer.
