If you have you vin number, colc provided this handy link that tells you what, if any, technical enhancements are required on your car. If it says there isn't any you can assume it's waiting for a ship. https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/footer/quic...e-recalls.html Last edited by Tomo28; 01-25-2022 at 07:22 AM.. Reason: Forgot to add link. |

When I Google the first code I get references to the RAM module which I have seen others here affected by but when I look for the second one I don't see any detail. I think I saw someone ask the question in this thread about the RAM module and what type of stereo was in the car - for reference mine has the standard HiFi system (HK upgrade was unavailable). Thanks again for that link. |

Hi Don - I am Ireland too, my car is en route to Bremerhaven expected to land there tomorrow I believe and also seems to be affected by the RAM module issue but I only have one code 0065480300 against mine... Re the other code if you ring the dealer they should be able to run it past someone in the Service Department possibly.... Spoke to my dealer this morning he said they are typically seeing about 2 week delay in Bremerhaven but I guess time will tell for me... Will keep you posted once I hear expecting an update on Thursday hope car is on the boat that arrives in there tomorrow! |

Thanks, I'll continue to provide updates here as well. I do actually have another (third) enhancement code of 0065600300 but it is down as being closed already. That was for a check on the Amp itself. Just spoke to my dealer and he is escalating to BMW Ireland as they have a number of customers in this situation so I'll see what he comes back with too. |

if there are any additional deletions e.g. (Touchscreen/iDrive) it should show up there and your other code may be the campaign to have some other deleted options refitted before it's shipped to Ireland? I read on another thread some people had touchscreen deletes and now there is a software patch required hopefully you get some progess this week... |

It doesn't mention anything about touchscreen when I put my vin in that website. It does mention I have connected drive professional and connected services. I think it mentions touchscreen on their website under one of those packages. |

Dealer did say they have a lot of cars in this same situation (with the same enhancement codes) and they are keeping the pressure on BMW for dates. Fingers crossed we hear something soon! |

there definitely were some issues with touchscreens on X5's but maybe affected US models only...there was a software patch needed for iDrive with touchless screens...with some folks retro fitting with touchscreens post delivery (https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1873069&page=2) from what I can make out if you don't see anything saying "Touchscreen Deleted" that's good news as in you will have additional options showing up as DELETED so no news is good news in this case.... |

I notice on the online configurator that H/K audio is available for selection again.
I ordered with the Tech Plus pack when H/K Audio was not available, hoping that it would be available by the time my car is manufactured. As it's via a leasing company I've asked them to check the spec with their dealer, and hoping it will be included in my build - currently due end of May. |

ive been told there are over 2000 cars waiting for AMPs in Bremerhaven. They are being made in factories in the far east which have probably been repurposed to make facemasks instead.

Whilst we may think of BMW as a massive international company it and the rest of the worlds car firms make up only 3% of the worlds microchip market. They are dwarfed by the tv, phone and computer makers and therefore have zero clout when looking to get there share of a restricted market caused by both factory closures and increased demand in above markets both caused by the pandemic.

This might be a daft question but the wireless charging also included the enhanced Bluetooth, with that a known deletion does that mean my car won't have Bluetooth? Therefore I won't be able to connect my phone.
Edit: daft question. It should have basic Bluetooth. Hopefully it doesn't impact android auto. Last edited by Tomo28; 01-27-2022 at 05:27 PM.. |

Just been advised by my SA that our vehicle did leave Bremerhaven last weekend and is now in BMW's Thorne Distribution centre in Doncaster and delivery is showing 7th February, I assume that means delivery to the dealer for PDI etc and collection by me sometime after...
I will have to approach BMW direct as they are saying have to collect no later than 10 days so 17th-20th Feb!! ridiculous not to be able to wait until 1st March... |

Isnt the road tax/showroom tax included in the price, hence they would have to do all the paper work again? |
