About 370,000 of those 1.53 million cars are part of the inventory on dealer lots.

awesome news!

Have any “Week 32” X5 buyers received any good news? I need a car soon. Porsche could be promising. Range Rover isn’t reliable. Hate to drive another Lexus but might have to. Haven’t heard from my CA in 3-4 weeks.

Another article published today. A little bit more details but nothing new.

https://amp.theguardian.com/business...-braking-fault

When the problem first emerged in February, about 14,000 UK-registered vehicles were believed to be affected. Almost 160,000 new BMWs and Minis were sold in the UK last year.

Continental said that only a “small proportion” of the braking systems it produces for BMW would be partly replaced due to an electronic component that, it said, “might have an impaired functionality”.

It is understood only a small fraction of the cars potentially have the system malfunction. These would have been manufactured in BMW’s plants in Germany, the UK and France, as well as in the US, China, and South Korea.

I’ve had a couple. LR3 and RR Sport. Great to drive. Awesome off-road. Lots of issues but all fixed under warranty. I would lease one, but not own.

I haven’t collected the car yet, will do so next week so I’ll have more info then but I don’t think anything will be replaced by the dealer until I receive an official recall letter from BMW, or software warning me to take the car to the nearest dealer. My gut feeling is that BMW cannot even tell which VIN is faulty and which isn’t. As it’s not dangerous to drive regulators in this country lifted the stop order but may have done so on the condition that BMW takes immediate action by replacing the part across the fleet produced so far. I’d be surprised if the software is able to check anomalies in my breaking pattern and figure out it’s faulty. I reckon it’s just a backlog queuing system telling me that my VIN is up for replacing the IBS.

Stellantis just anounced Jeep cars catch fire making this IBS problem a walk in the park (no pun intended).
