I would push your sales person to show you something in writing. I am willing to bet he or she is trying to provide a false sense of security to make sure you don't walk away from the deal. |

John,
All 2019 M5 manufactured from Jan 30th to October 30th are included in this recall. It just has not been published for current owners at this point. Once there is a fix this will be pushed out. We are not able to take delivery on new vehicles as BMW has identified the issue and working on a remedy. EDIT** I just realized that you are in the UK. I don't know how this is being handled on your side of the pond. |

Wow! We have gone from February to Q2 in a matter of 48 hours. The left over 19s might be sitting of a long while

As I mentioned previously, if parts are limited, I wouldn't be surprised if they have prioritized the order in which the repairs would be made, (if they've even got this far in the process). Probably (hopefully for those in this situation), they would make cars that have been ordered and are in the sales pipeline first on the list, cars already on lots would also be high priority so they can be sold if someone comes in and wants to buy immediately. If it is resulting in problems for a very small percentage of owners, they would make cars already sold and delivered lower on the priority list. Lots of variables, combined with whatever policies they are coming up with, on the fly, also have to be communicated throughout a worldwide company. So it's understandable that different people are hearing different things right now. It will get sorted. I know that doesn't help those that are waiting for their car now. I would be extremely disappointed if my 2 month wait for delivery turned into 4 or more months.

How do you check this? I just leased a 19’ from another state two days ago, it’s supposed to be shipped to me next week.. hope it gets on the truck and doesn’t sit at the dealership for a while!

So I was purchasing an M5 off a dealer lot last week, then got hit with the recall the next day before I picked up the car. Based on all the unknowns, I just decided last night to do a custom order since the car on the lot wasn't in my first color choice anyway. I was told 9 weeks for delivery on this new custom order but who knows given the recall.
