Is it recall for sure too?
I'm was going to pick up my 2021 M5 Comp on Friday (Nov 6 2020) when a delivery stop notice came in for the same issue (fuel tank ventilation). My dealer, as well as the posters in this thread https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1772705, have said that there's no timeframe on the delivery stop nor is there a fix. |

Tell me about it. I have over 30 M cars/suvs that were ordered and just came in that can't be delivered because of this mess.
I don't even want to count how many are still on the way |

Glad I came here. Same problem, soon as I sealed the deal they hit me with a stop sale. I looked up, down and all around... nobody knew about it (allegedly). At first I thought it was a gimmick as I seen the vehicle reposted for a whopping $7,000 more than what we agreed to. But not knowing when a fix is available is rather sad, especially when other members here apparently have had it fixed before. Maybe the dealers can negotiate with corporate? Lol... yes that last statement was selfish, but necessary.

Interesting. I had same issue after a track day and got a cel. Actually came on in middle of track day but i didnt notice any issues so kept going. Hooking up the obd port an issue with the evap emissions control came on. I reset the light and havent had an issue since.

Well, I thought they finally fixed it, but the CEL just came back on today. First time they replaced the bank 2 fuel tank vent valve (shorted). (oct18, 8k miles) This last time, (oct20, 35k mi) was replace venturi line, fuel tank breather and pressure sensor. Now the light is back on again. |

Hey sorry it came across whichever negative way it did. That was not my intention.
To clarify, I just don't want anyone to conflate the two separate recalls and be at risk of thinking there's a solution already, and potentially making purchase decisions accordingly. The reason I mentioned fuel pump is because that was one of the most recent recalls for our cars that has since been resolved. |

I'm trying to be patient, but I get calls from 10-15 different dealers every day trying to sell me an M5 and not being straight up about this situation. Look at this text message I attached. He/she didn't even say "we have M5s available that don't have this issue, would you be interested?" Nope... just wants to get my money and put me in any BMW they can sell me. Anyway, I'm going to try stick in there and be positive that things will soon be resolved. If it gets to January and nothing yet, I think I'll have to call it quits and move on from BMW. Not interested in other models, although I'm sure they are great however, after my wife reluctantly told me to buy the car I really want instead of the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport... "I thought you wanted a BMW?" Man I felt like a kid on Christmas morning! How could I settle for a different for a different model after all of that? 😞. For now, I'll live vicariously through you all and continue to stare at pictures! And this makes it just a tad bit worse... already bought Dinan exhaust, H&R springs/spacers, reflector deletes, and was making arrangements for Noelle Performance tune. Lol if commit to some BBS or HRE wheels then I'll have to wait forever for the fix! 😂😂 man my wife is going to kill me! |

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. |
