Found in my (new to me) engine yesterday while replacing eccentric shaft sensor. All new bolts present in the VANOS, looks like they didn't find the missing one when they changed them out.

Nope. I'm still seeing that a remediation is not yet available. They're probably working through the 5/6/7-series first, since those owners are considered higher value by BMW leadership for customer retention. I'm guessing that we'll be tail-end Charlie for getting this fixed; hopefully the fix arrives quickly.

I call about once a month and am told it's not available yet. I've seen posts of ppl having it taken care of tho. BMWNA is super inconsistent. I think it's a dealership relationship thing, I dunno.

patiently waiting for my turn... i've already performed the recall myself (before it was an official recall) and was denied reimbursement a year or two ago. now that it's an official recall (again) I'm hoping to at least get my parts reimbursed. fingers crossed.

Here in Canada parts have been available for several months. Got a call from the Dealership over the winter but car was already in storage. Once the weather around here stabilizes I'll make the appointment. I inquired about the fix and they said all bolts will be replaced whether loose or not. Any loose bolt will mean replacement of the whole unit. Also means an new valve cover gasket (not leaking yet ), so one less thing to worry about.

I'm guessing it doesn't affect 2009 or older models, at least not my build date anyway-06/2009.

Hello , new to the forum and to my 2011 128i convertible. The service engine soon light came on and I took it to the dealer a few days ago. They found the bolts broken. The parts are apparently on allocation, they expect them next week. The car has 95,000 miles on it.

Would love to hear more info, if they have it.
My valve cover gasket has been leaking like a sonofabitch every so often, usually after flogging on it for a minute and then coming to a stop. One time there was enough smoke I pulled over and got out because I thought the car may have been on fire (lmao). But, I keep putting it off waiting for this recall, going on what, like six months now? I should probably carry an extinguisher in the meantime. |

I am cautiously optimistic , my service advisor told me yesterday that the parts are in transit to the dealership and should be here in a day or so. I will let everyone know how it goes.

I talked to my local dealership the other day and they informed me that this recall uses completely different parts than the previous recall. So even though I replaced my VANOS adjustment gears two years ago, I'll need to have it done again. I'm not sure if I believe that yet but he said I could still submit for reimbursement. So hopefully parts be in transit for them as well, he said he put me down on a 'first-call' list.

I was just advised by my Dealer Service Advisor that they now have all the parts and are proceeding with the work required by the recall. I will advise when done and if anything that might be of interest to the group transpires.

My service advisor texted me today that the recall repairs have been completed. I am out of town until after the Memorial Day weekend. I plan to pick the car up Oct 28. My service advisor thinks (but does not know for sure) that because my car was stuck at the dealership deemed unsafe to drive (because all four bolts were broken) that the parts were made available sooner than if someone who is driving their car calls in to schedule getting the work done. I will pass along anything interesting I learn after picking up the car next week.
