So, the list on that Car Sales link says 1 series coupes and convertibles but doesn't mention hatches...is that just cos they copied the list from the US one, where I think the hatches weren't sold...or were they? I'm confused!

By the looks of this blog, 1M's and M3's not included in recall, due to a different setup.

Just got a call from BMW Stealership, that my car is not affected by the recall
My car model is 2011 N55, which mean other forum members who have the same batch year as mine is safe then. Not sure if I need to cross-checked again |

Interesting. Mine's also an August 2010 build and my dealer says they don't yet have a full list of VINs affected from Germany but that they believe that my car IS affected.
They also said that BMW Aus will be sending Letters to affected people next month. Guess we'll just wait and see... |

I was reading about the recall in the German news magazine Der Spiegel. From the reader's comments at the end of the article, not all Germans are enamoured with BMW's (or indeed VW's or Mercedes). One person wrote "BMW is the master at producing high value-added vehicles from low quality components". Hmmm...

- other readers chimed in with recalls from VW, and faults in Mercedes, so I guess this is what happens with mass-produced cars, no matter what price point. Even Toyota is in the middle of a massive recall. At the other end of the scale, you have the super cars, which accordingto Top Gear are fragile in the extreme.
I understand that the part affected is a mod intended for cars sold in "hot" climates. What that means I don't know. |
