I just crossed referenced my VIN on both the BMW UK site and https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app/, as UK showed no recalls and the BMW recall tool pulled a lot of codes. I should be closed now.

Baltimore is a cursed VPC — I am a still waiting for them to open a work order for my car. It was dropped off there right before thanksgiving…

My car has been at port Maryland since 22nd November when should expect it?

That's a million dollar question.

It looks like mostly M4's are getting the stop sales and QC holds from the Dingolfing plant!

[Brazilian_BAMF]

My M4 is at port waiting to be assigned to a vessel.
However, the VIN tool is showing the recalls for RAM.

My dealership is showing in their website there 4 M3 and 2 M4 in transit.

I believe this status is assigned when the car leaves the destination port, am I correct?

Second point, all these cars still showing some kind of open recall. Few of them showing to "Check the RAM'.

Others showing the exactly recall as my M4.

Any of you know what is going on?

I check every once and a while but the message has been the same every time: "we don't have the parts, we don't know when we'll have the parts, and when we have the parts we don't know how long it will take to fix."

It sucks because I remember being so excited when I learned the car had finally made it to the US port, but day by day my excitement has waned and now I'm more apathetic than anything. I've come very close to canceling the order a few times now - now that the MY22 cars are orderable and the price of the car is starting to drop.

What do you mean the price of the car is starting to drop? Because I have mine ordered received at BMW. G82 M4

I'm assuming he is referring to value of the car is starting to drop.

So weird, my SA says i have a RAM issue but the recall tool doesnt work for me, says vehicle not found, anyone else had this issue?

Maybe incorrect VIN?

[thejosen1]

I have a G80 M3 that arrived Port Hueneme 1/5 and was flagged with the audio module stop sale. Saw a list of cars slated for delivery to my dealer and not all G80s were impacted. No indication yet when the part will be available. Was told by dealer it's on back-order. Hopefully it doesn't sit at VDC for ages but based on what I'm reading here, it might be a while...

Any way to check part status outside of the recall portal?

My M4 started production 9/22 and took about 2 weeks to build. I was originally build week 35 but got bumped 5 times to week 40. It was stuck in QC for 8 weeks before finally switching to in transit. Due to arrive in Baltimore on 1/11. I was told by genius and local m rep that it may have been in QC for that duration to have any missing parts installed but recall tool still shows RAM open. I have heard that all US cars have stop sales cleared at the VPC and it seems unlikely any US cars got them cleared in Germany. Hoping for RAM to get settled 2-3 weeks after it arrives in Baltimore but who knows?

Yeah all US bound cars are fixed at the VPC in the US!

This. My M4Cx arrived to port three days ago and I'm waiting on RAM. Hopefully parts are there and the wait is almost over. I ordered the car in late July!

[merlin3008]

I ordered my car in July and got my allocation in August. The car completed assembly on 10/14, spent two weeks in QC and then arrived at Baltimore on 11/24. It's been there ever since with the RAM issue. Sadly, there has been no clear rationale as to why some cars spend two weeks there and other have been there for over two months.

[LSP]

Grrrrr and Merlin - my tale of woe is similar in terms of timing…deposit in May, order to factory early July, built Oct 11, awaiting RAM at Bremerhaven since Oct 14.

My M4Cx go to Port Hueneme on 1/3 and its still waiting on the RAM stop sale as well. I've tried getting more info, but all I've ever able to get out them is that since it's a "sold" vehicle and not dealer stock, it has first priority. Which is cool, but I'd imagine most M3/M4's at this point are sold/first priority vehicles. The wait seems like a crap shoot at this point.

Ugh, this is giving me PTSD as I spent 7 weeks in Quality Check after car was completed on 10/6. No reasons given...

Guess I better temper expectations and prepare for another long wait.

[Bch53211]

The lack of reasoning or explanation is what is most frustrating. There are people who had their RAM installed within days of arriving at VPC and others who wait months?!
