Quick update.
Im based in the UK, had my F83 ZCP at the dealer, waiting for collection (just saw her last Friday). Been informed mine is one of the vehicles affected. To say I am livid is an understatement. Waiting for them to get back to me re the next step and any compensation! |

I would lean towards 3 if I could change the dates of my trip. But I'd still want something else for my trouble. 1 would be an OK option only if I got to pick what car I was driving. And 1 monthly payment seems a bit low for this. 2 I would only take if my plan was to just save money on the car. |

Any way to post a shot of the full list? I see some that could be mine in the right-hand column there...

Picked my F82 up last Friday, put 1,100 miles on it between Saturday and Sunday, and now just finally dropped it off at the dealership for it's break-in service a few moments ago.
Asked my SA if it was part of the recall - looks like it isn't! He wasn't fully aware of the recall, either, so I showed him this thread. As a side note - mine went into production on June 1 - F82, 6MT, ZCP. |

One month lease payment as compensation. Please!!! They have to do that. The car is gonna be delayed for a least that time getting "repaired". I'm tempted to tell them to F off

Then reality is stuff goes wrong and you then make the best of it. Spend enough time going on foreign vacations and you should be prepared for lots of things not going as planned. I think their options are reasonable and continuing to say "I want my car" is pointless.

Once again I'll stress, that yes, this is for sure unpleasant experience and kinda spoils the fun of brand new expensive/luxury car delivery. No doubt at all, I would be upset too - I do understand you guys being upset. But short of walking away from a new car, comments like "this is simply not acceptable" sound silly to me. You're all grown men for crying out loud, just deal with bad things happening to you (deserved or not), see what kind of compensation you can get out of (and they sound reasonable to me), live with this unfortunate issue or simply move on to something else. |

My car was stuck at the VPC for over a month extra to have the gas tank replaced due to an open campaign. I pushed back and was able to get another 1k off the price of the car from BMW NA. I suggest you try and raise hell and go that way. The extra money off the car was worth the wait.

I have received an acceptable offer of compensation from BMW for ruining my plans. It does include a month's worth of payments. It all works out in the end. Everyone makes mistakes - business (and life) is about how you recover. At this point I am going to accept their offer and move on - I'd still like to drive my car soon, but that will come.
