I do hope so. After speaking to dealership a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't expecting mine to be delivered for another month or so. Hopefully this provides some hope for everyone else in the same position.

It looks that the cars need to be tested at a distribution centre, but typically there is no timescale for the action. With over 4000 cars (or 2000 if they were able to exclude some) affected by the delivery halt it will take a while. |

Don’t know whether that was fact or fiction, it came from the dealer. I believe for the UK and possibly Ireland that cars were going back to Killingholme where they arrive from Germany. I think the site is operated by GBA as detailed here https://www.gbagroup.com/blog/gba-ex...ical-services/ This ties in with the Postcode (DN40 3DZ) seen on my lease company fitted tracker. I have just checked the BMW recall site and my VIN Number now returns just the technical enhancement code; “There is an open technical enhancement on this vehicle. Please go here to book an online appointment for your vehicle selecting "service as required" or contact your local retailer here for more information. Enhancement code 0061430500” The previous safety recall message has now disappeared. I don’t know whether this is progress or not, according to the tracker the car hasn’t moved since last Thursday. It had been there since Tuesday 22nd. It would be nice if somebody at the dealer or BMW UK would give me any of this information, rather than me having to go all “inspector Clouseau” myself! |

So, 3 weeks since my car was sent back to Doncaster and I have absolutely no news! I was hopeful of a reasonably quick turnaround once it was uplifted from Sytner Sheffield, but I’ve heard hardly anything since. Good to see that some of you are receiving your cars though.

I originally had two recall messages that disappeared as the work was carried out. Then after chasing up again the latest enhancement code appeared on the BMW recall site. I've got no information or communication of how long this latest notice will take. I do know it's basically to replace the charging cable. Managed to get these details from the dealer. |

Provisional delivery date of tomorrow but no comms from the dealer or LeasePlan so I’m waiting to see if they actually contact me or if I just get a generic email with a new provisional date.
About to escalate to our internal fleet team as the car has now been sat at the dealer since 31st July with no proactive comms at all. Last edited by Osxboy; 10-01-2020 at 07:05 AM.. |

Car Finally Delivered!
Good afternoon,
Great news, my car was delivered on Tuesday. There were no issues at all. It was definitely worth the wait, albeit longer than expected! I shall be doing a Lands End to John O'Groats trip in a couple of weeks in it. 2000 miles in 3 days, road trip fun! I hope everyone who is waiting for their cars isn't held up for much longer, its a brilliant car! Cheers! Quote:

I had a phone call from the dealer today, they confirmed that my car had now gone back to BMW, which I already knew from the tracker. No commitment on when I would see it, beyond the observation that the first cars they had sent back, had just been returned to them. They reckoned they had take two weeks to turn around. Discussed the codes on the BMW recall site and they commented that they thought the remaining code showing, relates to replacing the charging cable. Indicated that would take a day from ordering the part. Sounds like I’m getting closer! After taking the call I checked the tracker and it had moved again, the first time it has moved since the 24th. I’m hoping it’s onto a transporter for delivery back to the dealer, rather than the butty run! |

330e no sale
so I was supposed to pick up my car yesterday but was told not to come in due to the stop-sale. I'm in the US. Anyone have an update on this from BMW NA? Dealership seems lost and doesn't have an answer.

Thanks mate. Hope they’re as good as their word and you get the car on Tuesday, it’s been a very long haul, I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait though.

So my provisional date of today now pushed back to the 16th, automated email sent at 06:30!
Lack of communication is something I have never experienced before even from the worst dealer! I’m complaining to our fleet team although I doubt it will make much difference. |

It’s no way to run a business and it will influence my decision next time I replace my car. As for lease companies..... |

So now I’m down to one message when I check my VIN.
There is an open technical enhancement on this vehicle. Please go here to book an online appointment for your vehicle selecting "service as required" or contact your local retailer here for more information. Enhancement code 0061430500 Hopefully that means the inspects/fix for the batteries is done and this is just the cable/label issue. Still not got a great deal of confidence in the dealer or lease company giving me an actual delivery date. Last time I was down to one message that only lasted one day so I’ll check in the next few days and update if I get a delivery date. |

My fleet company fitted tracker tells me that the car has gained another 0.7 miles, but won’t give me a location until it moves again. I am hoping that its last movement was onto a transporter and its next will be off a transporter and into the dealer! |

Hiya all from down under in Australia.
Nice to hear a number of you have started to receive your vehicles or are closer! My car arrived in my city at the start of September however delivery on hold due to the recall #0061580500 Checking the high-voltage battery (VDC). My dealer sent me an email last week saying they anticipate getting my car to me by the end of the month. I've just checked the recalls again this weekend and now I've got two active recalls! The same one as above plus a new one as follows: #0061670500 F39 F4x G01 G05 G1x G2x G3x PHEV Zellen im Hochvoltspeicher. This seems to translate to the same 'check the high voltage battery'. Has anyone had their car marked with a newer recall? |

Well my car finally arrived today. This is my first BMW and I’m really impressed. For those still waiting - it’s worth the wait, fantastic car.
