Jeez, your dealer sounds really shady! I’m curious, what was the date of your transaction? Wondering how soon after the release of the stop-sale order on Nov 5 it was. In my case, my dealer’s Sales Manager was frantically calling my SA while he was showing me around the car while F&I was supposed to be getting the papers ready. They were decent enough to not want me to process any papers as soon as they found out.

As for waiting till January... I really doubt it’s going to be that long. From all the facts, I feel that this has to be a software fix rather than requiring the production and distribution of hardware. It affects only M-cars, from a wide window of production, and are built in a variety of plants (and continents). Given M550i’s or 850is, or 530i’s aren’t included I really think it’s an issue with the M tune.

Obviously I could be wrong, as this is just a hypothesis based on limited facts.
