Right, I was just using the X3 as an example.

So they’ve basically come up with this fix for all 5 part numbers? Or are they still trying to sort out some of those 5?

I would assume something like: Continental will supply the parts and the cost of distribution to BMW, and BMW will foot the bill for getting them to the repair centers/Dealerships and the warranty repair labor costs.

The remedy would be the same no matter the part number.

No, the part is the same.

You can translate to English if need be.. Also this appears to be the local news agency, so might be worth bookmarking it and monitoring it. Local news tends to report on major employers in the areas. Probably get good reporting of the Bingolfing plant from time-to-time.

ugh.. Great, now there are port labor strikes up and down the East coast. Will this compound and complicate deliveries on vehicles?

I’m new to Bimmerpost. My car has been at the facility in Oxnard for three weeks. Does anyone have information on the recall status. Turned my lease in a few days ago and I’m now without a car.

I’m screwed in NJ. There is no tax on EVs until the end of the month. I doubt if I can get an i5 and register it by the end of the month.

Your dealer should have told you when you turned in your lease. I am sure that BMWFS would have extended it for a month or two.

My car is on a ship that just arrived at Port Hueneme and is now anchored offshore. Hopefully the ship will proceed to the harbor tomorrow and my car will be moved to the VPC in Oxnard. Then who knows how long it will sit there with the stop sale on it. I was hoping it would get the brake system part and software this week but seeing your post that yours has been sitting there for three weeks really surprised me. My other hope is that when it gets checked at the VPC they will find that it doesn't need the repair and the stop sale will come off.

There is no inspection like that for the recall/stop sale. They do clear vehicles based on production and supplier records though but your dealer's system should have been updated by now if yours was cleared.

They are offering killer deals on the iX5 if you want an SUV.

The iX5 won't be released for at least another two years. Maybe you mean the iX xDrive50?
