Ugh, I hope my car leaves the port before the hurricane arrives, but it is not looking likely.

The BMW recall site shows no open recalls on my car now. I hope that means it gets to the dealership soon!

Ugh, my car is still in Brunswick, GA. I hope BMW moved the cars somewhere safe as I am not interested in starting this process over again.

Finally picked up my car today. Sat in the port for about a month due to the recall. Regardless, very happy (now). Best of luck to everyone who is still waiting.

I just found some extra info on those headrest recalls. I was curious what was that about.

"the issue relates to improper welding, therefore, the rear center headrest may fold in the event of a rear impact crash."

Yup, here in the US, NHTSA's website also publishes all of that info.

After sitting at the port for about a week, my car was released yesterday and it is on it's way to Seattle now. Hopefully, I will be able to pick it up over the weekend.

They are probably waiting for parts and want to deliver you the car during their least busy time......which is usually Tue & Wed.

You think it might have been damaged in final transport? I also cannot pick it up then .

That's quite possible.

I would make an unannounced visit to dealer and demand to see the car. Someone will eventually show you where it is or even often times, you can figure out where they are stored.

Snuck back where I shouldn't, and saw the car (matched vin) and it looks fine... well absolutely covered in salt... But otherwise fine.

My M340i had the same recall. But my SA has showed me that there is no open campaign on the car though. I was held also for a programming problem. Not sure if it's the software update. Hopefully they are not big deals

My 330d x-drive is also being held at the port, difference with my supplier is they have given me a replacement car (520d m-Sport) since the day it was expected 23-9-2019. Great service from my dealer, they have gone beyond my expectation with this delay.

My car was due the 1st sept in the UK and has been delayed due to this and also it got hit by a hail storm so all cars sat waiting now have to be inspected and some possibly needing to be rebuilt with no idea of time frame.

I have been given a loan car from BMW but I ordered this car in March!!

Lost the love for a new car now as no idea when I will get it.
