It might be farther than the M5 but I’ve read stories of the leaks getting into other engine parts and causing bigger problems in the M550, also.

Maybe there’s a fix and it’s rolling out in Europe first? Logistics of doing this across the US and the 340+ dealers is prob a bit challenging but maybe under way? 🤷

Just took my 19 M5 in for the 40k where I was going to do the spark plugs. My tech said he saw my tank in bad shape but unfortunately can't get a replacement now. We held off on doing the plugs because we didn't want to mess anything up when removing the tank.
Guess I just have to drive it until a recall and fix get put out. shit. |

Yep. That’s the difference in Europe I guess
BMW dealers in the UK can order up to 5pm (from memory) and get the part the following day IF in UK satellite depot) +1day for Germany. However….they’ve confirmed that it’s not affected the coils….but it’s been on the ramp ALL day and wont be off it until lunchtime tomorrow. I can’t believe it takes that long to replace a tank ?! Annoying now. They’ve given me a new M4 Comp Convertible for the time being. |
