By my count, there were 527 M5 produced for BMW NA between these dates

VIN B283973 - B284498

Even more interesting that only 12 of these are subject to the recall.

There clearly are no options on your car that would make it unique to 12 out of 527 cars.

Must be some defective part within the engine that you just hit the lotto with
