LIFTED! Delivery Stop on Certain BMW M2, M3, M4, 5 and 6 Series For Rear Differential

Halewafa · 08-10-2016, 04:48 PM

Just got a call with an update letting me know that my rear diff should have arrived this week, but like someone mentioned, it seems like they forgot to ship the other parts needed for the install, lol. I guess that's some sort of progress though, the diff that arrived was ordered to my VIN#, so its guaranteed to be put on my car (she said hopefully early next week). Was told they would call me again by EOB on Friday with updates.

Do you have the zcp? I am worried the zcp and non-zcp are using different differential or the same.

Like edwinm3 said, I doubt there is a difference. But yes to your question, the car has the competition package

Cannondale2016 · 08-10-2016, 07:58 PM

Some pictures for Canadian customers, those car should be already released to dealers. Mine is the AY.

Jesus fucking Christ. You may as well just cancel your 2016's and order a 2017 at this rate. Save yourself $5000 worth of instant depreciation.

Did you already cancel the order?

No I have a 2017 on order. First week of October production. Should be ready for delivery by mid-November.

I hope I could get 2017 as well, I do want to have the idrive5.0 and Apple car play. Ha

Did they all get the rear diffs fixed already?

Nope, just released the car to local dealers.

That's a quick turnaround! I got an email back from Jess and he handed off to someone with an email of @bmwnaext, which I wonder isn't external help to deal with the current situation. Fingers crossed!

That is BMW Executive Care- Veronica maybe?

Mine's been there for 3.5 weeks, going on 4 coming Friday.

No timeline for fix, they have changed the date 4 times now.

M2?I didn't saw any M2s at the autoport

Platypus · 08-10-2016, 11:05 PM

Purchased a 2016 M4 with competition package Saturday July 30th agreeing to pick up the vehicle Monday August 1st from a dealer in the Northeast. That Monday, they notified me of the differential recall and I would have to wait a couple weeks to take delivery but they would honor the agreement (free option). Today, my ca wrote back "the news from BMW isn't great, so I wanted to give you options and time to plan: They don't expect a fix for any M3,M4, or M6 cars to occur before the end of September." In addition to this disappointing news, they would have to re-appraise my vehicle that btw is a BMW with an air bag recall. I'm fairly confident if they lower the value of my vehicle I should be able to do the same dollar for dollar on the M4 but frankly that should depreciate faster.

At this point I'm tempted to order a 2017 M4 but will most likely not be able to get $200 over invoice, 62% residual and .00116 mf. Furthermore, beginning in 2017 maintenance does not includes brakes.

At the dealer not the port. Last time it was at the port was a month ago.

As a note to all the Canadians: the contacts on page 23 are useless for us. BMW North America only applies to the USA (I guess Canada must be in Asia then...) and BMW Canada is a different entity with different contacts, which is just f'ng great.

I did get a reply from Jess is 5 minutes flat which is pretty amazing and he promised to pass on my email to the BMWCA folks (nothing but praise to him), but I have zero expectations from them given what information BMWCA has provided me with over the last 3.5 weeks (ie. nothing, zero, zip, nada)

I was just joking by saying the ZCP diff had to be stronger to handle the extra power, though I guess that got lost in translation on the interwebz.

Nope, he is most certainly a dude.
