I'm can't wait to see the face of the service manager I spoke to last week who said he knew nothing about it & don't believe everything you read on the internet

Same, asked the service advisor two weeks ago and was told they were not aware of any security problems!

Looking forward to calling my dealer tomorrow. I have BMW extended warranty but I hope that doesn't change anything.
I was going to move my obd port but worry that if I do BMW then have an excuse to say "you've tampered with the obd port blah blah".. Some of the dealerships that they secretly filmed on the show made me chuckle.. |

I have no hopes TBH.

I was in my dealership this morning and asked if he'd be watching watchdog.
He said yes, and explained that a similar thing was happening with other cars, but there was zero mention of a free security update. |

Saw the program... Well done Watch Dog and well handled in terms of not showing too much!
Shame on BMW for this.. I live in a drama world where I would expect more... In reality it has taken misery and people power to get this flagged...well done to the old bill too for their part in making people aware! I don't hold my breath but I will call the 0800 number tomorrow and see what happens.. |

So can anyone with an affected car just ring this number even if you didn't purchase it from BMW etc.

Go on then. Someone stick the number so I can give them a call tomorrow and see what they have to say. Have a feeling you could be on hold for a while.
