A BMW spokesman confirmed that the upgrade will be carried out by dealers free of charge. Owners with affected cars should contact their BMW dealers or call BMW’s hotline on 0800 083 4397.
Thanks for the link.Amazing how BMW has at last responded after national exposure of the problem.They initially denied there was a problem at all and came out with the usual lame excuse of "complying with all EU directives etc".
I still think this security problem deserves an international recall as I assume it applies to ALL cars manufactured between the specified dates and models.
