Is it going to be a huge list of years and models that have this system? Chances are, they will find other countries are affected. Just like this idiotic OFHG leak causing belts to shift and shear that they seem to refuse to address when a simple deflector plate is all that is needed.

Yes i agree, i dont see how only Korean market cars have different exhaust components.

Speaking of the OFHG, i went to the dealer to pick up the gasket. At the counter before i even asked what i need the guy had the screen up with OFHG showing. I said this is what i need and he started laughing. I said whats up with this, he said its done on purpose... this is the guy working at the BMW dealership admitting.. he said you are the 3rd person asking for it it was 10 in the morning..
