Thanks for the heads up!
I recorded this youtube below imploring that this initial recall expand to e91s models that were left out of the original recall and extended warranty action. I also filed a complaint with the NHTSA and others did this too. Reaching out to BMW NA was not only a waste of time, but the “Genius” from BMW kept telling me that the recall didn’t apply because my N52 was actually a 4 cylinder engine! Huh?
As my faulty Vanos bolts failed several years back, I completed the repairs according to the BMW RCRIT procedure which cost time and money for a valve cover, ESS, special tools etc. Let alone the bad Vanos bolts that ended up in my oil pan. As others suggested, I kept track of costs and time.
Now I’m wondering if there will be any compensation for owners that had the faulty Vanos bolts repairs done at their own expense before this “better late than never” recall? That’s assuming the e91 from 09-13 were actually included.
