Tried getting Trivett at Parramatta to book me in but I've been ignored (as expected) for most of the week. I work nearby so if I don't hear anything by Friday I will just go in and hassle them.

Mine was done last week. Loving the new horn cap with new roundel. I got them to fit my new cover while they had it apart. Looks as good as new again.

Anyone over here on the west coast received any letters?
hmm I'm guessing they probably have my old address in their computer when I bought the car, but the latest rego is my current address.

Just go to the BMW Australia website and put your details in there. Or call 1800 243675 and have your chassis # handy.
FWIW, my airbag was done on 13 July but, I received a letter today dated 20 July asking me to contact a dealer urgently to get it changed. |

Wow, I can't believe this thread was started in 2016.
Mine's booked in for changeover next Tuesday. Takes a couple of hours. |

Worth putting your chassis number into the BMW recall page and seeing if there are any other recalls on your vehicle. For example, there were three pending recalls on my 1M . . .
Takata airbag Battery terminal line CV joint. I'm getting all three addressed at BMW North Shore in four weeks time.

Plug-in contact of the battery cable to the front fuse box can become damaged due to vehicle vibrations and then impair power supply to vehicle. Recall is to replace plug-in contact with new version. Takes 1.5 hours.

I done the battery cable recall couple of years ago at Canterbury BMW and it took most of the morning. Airbag recall was done yesterday at Macarthur BMW and was done in practically the same amount of time it took me to drink my free coffee.

Got my letter last week. Tried to book at BMW Artarmon and was given September 21st!. The battery cable is being included and they want my 2010 135i for half a day. I said I want a loan car, and they agreed.
Also confusion on their hotline over whether I had the "Alpha" version of the airbag and if so, why aren't they towing it to the workshop (as a number of my friends have). Apparently I have the "less dangerous" version :-) |

Got it done at Melbourne BMW 1 week before I received the letter. I contacted them shortly after the recall on 1 series went live on their site.
They had the car for half a day, all done no dramas and have receipt with part number and recall details. |

I can't confirm but i do believe the Alpha type is not installed in any 1 series.
Battery positive cable to the junction box - stock is drying up. If it hasn't already run out. Blower controller cables - stock is also in short supply for E9x owners, if it hasn't already run out. If you are worried, pop the two T20 screws out of the passenger footwell and unplug the blower. Slide the black tape wrap up about 7cm and check for stiff or discoloured insulation, or visible strands of wire. If yes, then you are best to avoid using the blower or only use it at low output. |
