Yup she originally told me yes but she called the warranty manager and they said that it is from 2011. I am super disappointed because I need to buy plugs and injectors but I am BROKE. Might just buy some refurbs from Amazon temporarily tbh.

I’ll ask her more about it but I’m just repeating what I’m told. My car is unusable right now because of this so I would much rather it be real.

[N54_ABQ]

As Rule1977 has said, Its real and its new.

I got this from my dealer in Albuquerque, NM.

Dated 1/17/2020

Has anyone confirmed that their vin number shows up on bmwusa. My car falls in the vin range but is not listed.

I don't know of anyone yet. I reached out to my service advisor as did another member.. both of our cars fall under the build dates and neither have ever had the injectors replaced under previous recalls. We were both told that are vins don't come up under the newest recall and they don't know why. My advisor is contacting BMW and getting back to me. I'm thinking that it's so new that they aren't showing up yet. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I’m using refurbs from ebay, no issues. You can even finance it 0% interest over a year through Paypal. This recall is happening however so I would hold off on replacing them..

Yeah I am just going to wait a few weeks I guess and just drive a Jetta that I have spare. I'm going in tomorrow to tow it from there because it is smoking extremely bad and filled their whole shop with smoke.

If this service bulletin officially drops this is going to be major friends....

I'm in the same boat as you 🤬 03/07 even though I hear that cars with index 1 injectors rarely have problems with the injectors.

Vulcan let me know what you come up with after this goes live; tag-team them up! 👊

I'm still on the original injectors, not that i'm asking for problems but they have been good for now but it would be nice to get a recall done lol.

I've heard ppl in my n54 groups on FB say index 1's are second best to index 12's.. no issues have been shared about index 1's so that might be why..

Well, if that's the case, why tf did they make 12 revisions where the first one was good enough

Interesting, will keep an eye on this. My car was produced 2/26/2007 and is at 184,XXX miles on the original index 1 injectors.

[thurstonhowelltha3rd]

My build date is 01/09. Any chance I would sneak in there?
