Here is the timeline for my M3 6MT:

9/9 Order Received for build week 44
10/12 Production completed, bumped from week 44 to 41
11/8 At NJ port
11/13 Scheduled delivery date, apparently I didn't get it

My car is still at the port today and the stop sale is not closed yet.

Some members mentioned that the amplifier problem is only a software fix. However, my limited research suggests that it is more likely a hardware issue and here are my reasons:

1. If it is only a software issue, all M3s/M4s produced at the similar time frame should have the same problem. However, some vehicles produced around 10/12 didn't have this stop sale.

2. For a software issue, why can't BMW just resolve it at the factory or at the dealer? Letting the car sit at the VPC doesn't sound like a good solution.

3. My car is in the VPC for over a week, fixing a software issue should not take this long.

4. The amplifier is actually a hardware block
Attachment 2745661

Therefore I reached a bad conclusion: the amplifier issue is similar to the RAM or camera stop sale, and we have to wait for the parts indefinitely.

I really hope my analysis above is totally wrong and please share more info in this thread. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight on these parts. Very helpful.

Update, my "0065600300 Checking the installation of amplifier, retrofitting if necessary (note: not confirmed message)" status was CLOSED today. The car originally arrived at port on 1/5 and cleared today, 1/19. So that's about a 14 day turnaround.

As mine is a vert, I don't mind the VPC messing around, and taking delivery closer to the spring.

Anybody else seen this code recently or heard any movement???
