March 26th, 2014, made the cut!

At least this time, they are not blaming US fuel quality and fast recall!

Much better response than in the past!

This is weird.. I contacted my dealership service department just now. Keep in mind my 2014 M235i was produced on 12/2013... He said that the only recall that is available for my car is a "battery cover replacement", nothing else. I asked about this fuel pump issue and he said that it isn't necessarily production date related, it could be factory related also, and more specific to the VIN as well. So I guess even though my car falls in this production period and there hasn't been a listed recall for me yet, I should be in the clear?? I will continue to monitor this as it may be too early for the dealerships to receive this specific information yet, and if I get a notice in the mail, I will know that I fall into the recall category. Either way this is weird and I am still worried about this. What do you guys think?

considered i took delivery 3.28.2014 i think I'm screwed. Oh well its in for an oil change next week to ill get the SA to look into it.

Hopefully my anal avoidance of ethanol will buy me some time.

I wonder how quickly the NHTSA info is updated? I fall under the production dates but when I entered my VIN it said no recalls.

[qballis]

Mine falls in the production dates AND my fuel pump failed today at 1:00pm and I still don't show a recall in the dealer's systems...

Wow, that's crazy. I hope you get it resolved asap.

The notice clearly says they will not begin recall until April 30th. I doubt anybody in that date range will have a recall alert on their Vin number yet. I have a 1/14 build month so I am sure I will be getting a letter. How many miles you have on your 2er?

Sorry it happened before the recall. I only have 3700 miles on my 228i so hopefully it will be ok until it gets replaced. The few folks on here that have had it go out have been over 8000 miles I think. Guess having my car sit in thr body shop for 3 months may not have been all bad.

If I can be positive for something, at least I was alone and already in a parking lot 10 feet away from an open spot.

When the BMW Roadside tow truck came. He literally drug my car up the ramp, front splitter grinding the whole way up against the diamond plate floor and all....it's not on springs, it's stock ride height.

That sucks! If they cause damage they should be held responsible! Guess there was no chance you got that on video?

Wasn't even thinking about video honestly...you think this would make it up the ramp even with the wood there?

Ooh...that angle is bad. I dont think there is any way to make it up without a little scraping. They need to design tow trucks better to accomodate sporty low cars.

[overcoil]

It wasn't just the rubber underbody flaps but the plastic fiber painted piece scrapping ?

[sstarrx3]

When mine was towed after I was rear ended I did not have this issue but my 228i is base so I think it has more clearance.

Yes 100% the plastic painted lip scraping. He said its normal and nothing he can do. The plastic lip literally compressed against the tow bed.


I'll mention it at dealer when I get it back.
