Really curious as to how and when BMW is going to get this recall done.
To put it into perspective, it's almost been a full year since the recall affecting 840,000 BMWs (E7x, E8x, E9x) and I've still yet to see any of these recall procedures performed.

I've been calling my SA weekly regarding the E70. Online it says there is a "Final Remedy Available" November 2016. Then in the SA's system they can't order the parts and have zero visibility to when this will be fixed.
This Zone A vs Zone B deployment is aggravating also.
It's been far too long for the "supply chain" to get this resolved. Every day that goes by is another reason I may not decide BMW in the future. |
I just found an article on Bloomberg.
This newest 230,000 invoices vehicles that have already been repaired. They originally had Petri airbags and The parts used for replacement were also defective and were also supplied by TAKATA. Apparent TAKATA also bought Petri in 2000 and began using TAKATA inflators.
This is why a monopoly is bad. TAKATA supplied inflators to most of the market and also bought up its competitors in the process. There are THIRTY manufacturers involved in this situation. Tens of millions of vehicles affected.. and 13 million repaired..

I would recommend you ease up on your SA...
there are 1,568,247 BMWs that have been recalled.
