E89 Recall.

[RickyBobby]

Car was booked in on Thursday but yet again I've received a cancellation phone call from Sytner due to a world wide shortage of the necessary vanos bolts.

They told me they'd be in touch once they were back in stock

Probably something for that the next owner can book

Mines all done, great service from Cotswold BMW

Might have to look elsewhere to get the recall work done before the for sale bug bites again

Called in at Sopers to book the 4 series in for a service today. While I was there I asked about the E89 Recall. I was told that you are put on a list of urgency, when they book you in for a week in advance, THEN they order the parts required for your car!
I'm booked in for the 19th. of Nov. What crap service.

Received a call this week so mines booked in again with Sytner Sheffield for Monday 11th - this will be the third time following the two previous bookings they cancelled. They assured me that won't happen again so let's see - as you say not a great service experience but I suspect they don't care for the negligible sum of money they can claim back from BMW for doing the work.

My E89 is booked in tomorrow at Sopers, what I would like to ask anyone who has taken their car in for this, is, did the dealer try to tell you there were other issues needing attention?
Also, does the rocker cover need to come off as I have a new gasket which I'll leave in the car just in case.

Thank you.

Tony.

No other issues mentioned and if they need to take the rocker off they are responsible for a new gasket, make sure they supply and fit.

Good news Tony - hopefully no upselling done too
