Car has been delivered to the nearest BMW dealer, will hopefully know what's going on soon..... (well maybe in a day....).
The connected drive app reports a serious drop in driving range and fuel capacity since being recovered - bearing in mind the car cannot be started as the clutch pedal/linkage is broken.... annoyingly, the BMW-Connected system does not allow for previous status information to be recalled, nor does it allow screen capture on the phone app - so I cannot prove my statement about suddenly loosing fuel!

This is exactly what happened to mine with 2000 miles on the clock.
The dealership had it 5 weeks as the parts had not been made yet!! Hope you get it back a lot sooner! This should never happen on a new car, and is obviously a faulty pedal box that needs addressing, and quickly!! |

The whole pedal box assembly had to be replaced. That arrived and was fitted within 2 weeks, it's the rubber pedal inserts that took 5!!
Looks like this could be a recall job! They told me if any more cases it would have to be looked at urgently. |

I suspect a few more will break in due course (recall ??) so loaner via BMW Assist / Enterprise ! Mark on rear bumper - lease company and supplying dealer have gone quiet, I'll just have to live with it as its a company car - I'll just make sure they don't try it on at the end of the lease period

Car all fixed, a new clutch pedal assembly installed
Cannot believe that the linkage is a weak design - lets face it the clutch pedal is used a lot on a manual car and required every time the car is started so surely BMW tested this thoroughly....

I agree.
On my F30, I had trouble with the electric windows and door mirrors. The F30 obviously is not the only BMW to have electric windows etc, so why the problem ? |

Having watched all the BMW video's of the cars being stitched and glued together by robots can only assume they have off-days same as us humanoids do . Restores faith in good old homo sapiens. |
