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.
