I am being told it is more of the software issue from my sales person but I am having a hard time getting to acknowledge that, after everything i have read and heard, I doubt BMW didn't know it was a software issue since FEB, and are figuring it out now, so I asked if I could order a new one or has he said it would be longer wait time so I don't know if I should upgrade from 2024 to a 2025 for 10K more and wait more.

You are misunderstanding the situation. The issue was a part that was not manufactured to specs but once a vehicle has been driven then just changing the part causes a software issue on low mileage vehicles. That means the remedy for the stop sale is a combination of hardware and software.

It frees up your mind(90%) and allows you to focus on other things related to driving or not. It is also much safer as my wife will attest. Based on reviews BMW, has surpassed Tesla in this regard. Tesla was the only game in town for ~8 years.

Here is an article on it. https://bimmerlife.com/2018/08/11/a-...bution-center/

Thank you for all your contributions to this board.

I cancelled my order. Will reorder in the spring or late winter.

Sounds like you made the best decision for your case. Glad to help out where I can and good luck with your future order.

37. Scheduled for 9/9

Went into a dealership today, they had two X6 i40 for sale, no stop sale on them. The SA stated they had gotten word today that it will be another two weeks before lifted, the parts are being from Germany, but supposedly the problem has been solved, I got an opportunity to test drive the one in dealer, and was actually about to pull the trigger on buying, but it did not have all the options I wanted. So I am going to wait it out.

"another two weeks" sounds like a magic words from dealers which we have heard long time ago, but observed that it never happen.
I am getting skeptical and preparing to move on the other brand.

"Ahh, the ole two weeks I think they have cue cards that say, "In the case of recalls and stop stales. Always give the customer a timeline of two weeks."

I just must not trust tech as much. I had adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist in my 2012 Genesis and never trusted either enough to zone out. Now that I think of it, my lane-keep might have just been beeping and not actual control but still, the ACC worked as advertised but maybe I'm a control freak or something because it just wasn't that useful to me. I got everything but massage seats (couldn't feel them), DAPP, and the M package. The self-parking seems like voodoo and is my favorite one.

Due to the frustration with my dealer and BMW support, I’m thinking of going for a Mustang March-E, I know it’s a BMW forum but does anyone have any comments on the mach*-e? How far is it from the IX1? Price where I live is almost the same

Have you got a link to this please, I'm in the UK and I haven't seen or read anything about this in the press.

I had one in 2021/22, I loved the car to be honest BUT I had an issue with battery sensors and a crack in the battery casing that left my car in the shop for months on end while they tried to figure it out and get replacement parts.

Ended up swapping it for a Mustang GT instead and got some cash as compensation from them.

My experience may have been a one off and just unlucky - I would not put you off the car (4wd spec or above) if you are lucky enough to have no issues with it.

Hi, no disrespect at all. But since you are calling MACH-E a maRch-E, it means you do not even know the car. So, maybe you should do more homework to know the car and not make impulsive decisions...

Hi, no worries. It was just a typo. I’ve watched plenty of reviews on YouTube to know the car well, even if I misspelled the name. But thanks for the suggestion and if you have any insights about the car I’d really appreciate.

Hi Leoz. I would put a German car over American any day. Ford is also in the middle of quality chain among US car manufacturers. In order of high-to-low, for me it is GM, Ford, Chrysler.

I think, the car you drive depends on how long you will keep it. If you are doing what I do - which is not going over the warranty period - then it doesn't matter. You will be ok with both. But having warranty doesn't mean you won't have issues. I had Mustang GT with manual transmission (2015 model). It always had AC issues. I took it to the shop at least 7 times. Warranty covered it, but it doesn't mean I was not aggravated, or did not spend many hours at Ford shop. So, I sold it the day warranty ended.

If you keep your car 3-5 years or so, I would do German. If you do 5+ years, I would do Japanese, and look at Lexus maybe...

This is MHO.

Imminently since February when this all started :-)
Still not holding my breath.

When I lived in London in 90's, there was a bar in my neighborhood. One of the big bright signs said FREE BEER TOMORROW. And each day you come in, it would be tomorrow... Now, this is the same with BMW, instead it's 2 WEEKS...
