Currently on a verbal agreement over an M5C LCI. No word on the stop-sale. They heard rumors of a software fix next week but nothing official.

Just flipped to In Transit

Like many of you on this thread, my M5C has been stuck At Port for around 4 weeks. It just flipped to In Transit this morning so hopefully the fault which caused the Stop Sale has been fixed.

Some hope then! They wouldn't approve transit without a fix.

Yep, or a planned fix. That's my guess - they are anticipating the fix will be online by the time those released cars arrive at VPC.

From my dealership: Just got off phone with BMW engineer. The software begins validation on the 16th and will be available on the 23rd. Car should be deliverable by the 24th.

I wonder if this is related to the strong gas smell I have in the cabin after refueling... The smell lingers for a while but goes away when I open all windows to air it out.

I heard a similar timeframe from my dealer: on the 18th, the software should be updated for cars at the port and on the 23rd, vehicles that are in stock at dealers should be updated. Dealer also said that I should be able to drive it by Thanksgiving which, assuming the dealer's closed on actual Thanksgiving, would be the 24th!

Now here’s the question - what is BMW/BMW FS going to do for customers who were scheduled to deliver 11/5 or thereabouts? Surely they need to do
something to make up for this?

You mean like me? Exactly on 11/5 here!

And it seems the answer is nothing.

This is the most reliable version of facts since nothing official has been published by BMWNA
