Does BMW recall include 1M

Does anyone know whether the N54-motored cars are subject to BMW's VANOS-related recall? The listing includes the 1-series...

I thought someone said something about it only covering n52 and n55 motors. I looked around as well and couldn't find any more info than what was posted here in the forum.

It's mostly an n55 thing. My friend is a tech at the dealer and has been talking about broken / sheered vanos on the n55 for a long time .

Thanks all. I've now gotten confirmations from several sources that the recall only affects models with the N55 engine.

According to my dealer, it is too early for any ones VIN to come up. They guess it could take a few weeks before the actual recall begins. Shades of the HPFP recall.
