BTW, I have not received much information from the BMW technical folks in Germany, by way of BMWNA as to why they believe replacing the cylinder head will address the issue. Relative to the fuel pumps, I pressed to have these changed out since we've seen issues previously which either caused the fault code or resulted in sluggish engine performance. What I have learned from BMW is that this problem (lean mixture fault codes) has occurred before with certain builds in the July time frame. The local dealer has been great to work with and fully understands that a new car will be ordered (exactly the same as my current car with all the M Performance exterior and interior mods) if I experience any engine issues going forward. So, we will see what develops over the next couple of weeks.
Man, hate reading these kinda posts - mine (M4 Vert) was a July build also but have nearly 4000 miles without incident so guessing I am not soon to be in the same camp - bloody well hope not!! Really disappointing experience for you even with all the goodwill you received from the dealership. Hope it all works out asap - you are a patient man but pretty much all you can be in this situation.
