My car got stuck at the port with the stop-sale due to "radio remote control M sport." Based on what I've been told, it has something to do with programming.

Is there anyone else who has the same issue?

[F90bmwmastertech]

I am affected but have no other information about it myself and I work for BMW lol. My car is still about 1 week out from arriving in the states but its really annoying as Im trying to coordinate my 2 day M school seat with the delivery

[adeuel]

Mine just arrived at port in NJ this morning.
SA advised the same. Thinks if it is programming only, it will be at the dealer by Friday or Monday, if more, then first week of June.

Well we’re all waiting in solidarity here

With your username, care to venture a guess what might underlying software or hardware issue we’re dealing with? What could be driving this - changing regulation (less likely?) or the introduction of a new component that requires different software (more likely?)?
Genuinely curious

Same here… but my car has been at the dealership since last Friday… see my last post here

You probably will have any updates way before any of us. So could you keep us posted? 🙏

Any updates?

[F90bmwmastertech]

No updates guys, I’ve been refreshing the bulletin every day hoping it’s just a simple software fix. It’s really getting me upset.

Thanks for letting us know (even if there's no update) - this waiting process doesn't get any easier

I agree, no update is an update. Any information is much appreciated, thank you!

AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this Campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA Next or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.

SITUATION

Vehicles were delivered with the wrong radio remote control (without motion sensor) which decreases the theft-proofing against range extenders.

Situation does NOT affect the BMW Display Key.


Do not deliver vehicles subject to this Delivery Stop, until the vehicle is repaired. Do not use or sell replacement equipment/parts subject to a Delivery Stop.

If vehicles have already been delivered, the customer must be requested to make a brief workshop visit.

CORRECTION
Replace the factory-provided remote control keys.

Important: G12 vehicles with option code 3DS and/or 5DV are equipped with one Display Key, and one radio remote control. In this case only ONE remote control needs to be replaced.

All other vehicles without any of the option codes mentioned above will need 2 remote control keys replaced.

Thank you for the update…

How hard is it to get replacement keys for an M5? Also, does M5 come with display key? If it does, we can take delivery with that key and get replacement conventional keys at a later date… is that correct?

Display key is only an option for g12 7 series and unfortunately does not work like that.

How hard it is to get replacement keys for an M5? My car has been on a lot for a week waiting for a resolution to this stop sale and I wanted to gauge how long I may have to wait as my friend is buying my off-lease m550.

Thanks - good to know. Only a matter of time until this all goes digital anyway

For what it’s worth - this is the 2nd time in a row that this happens to me - ie delayed delivery on a new BMW. Last fall our X7 was delayed by a good week for a safety recall. They had to ... wait for it ... replace the stickers with the tire pressure inside the driver’s door.

Have a great long weekend all. Here’s to hoping this gets resolved next week and we can take delivery

[sbilyayev]

🤞

[adeuel]

Pretty sure BMW keys need to come from Germany, but they expedite the shipment to the dealer, but that’s for one key.

Anyone know how many thousands of cars x2 keys are affected?

[skypx]

If anyone is affected by this it's definitely worth the wait to get the keys replaced. The issue is even more concerning if you have street parking at your home.

[sbilyayev]

It sucks, but It's definitely worth it. We waited for so long, and another few weeks is not going to make a huge difference.

At least that's what I keep telling myself...🧐


It should be a good amount, but I don't think it is more than a couple of thousands because it is just m5, 5, and 7 series produced in the span of 3 weeks.
That would be my guesstimate.
