Every oil change... So the battery should be under warranty still size it would be less than a year old.
Mine is going in for service next week.. 2 out of the 3 people I spoke with hadn't heard of this "recall" (SIB). So I emailed them everything I find.... Hadn't heard back yet. They did say there are to recalls but couldn't tell me if they pertain to this. Anybody use BMW of Des Moines out there? |

Some questions:
1. Has anyone been everything short of turned away for bringing your car in for the campaign? After a blood pressure rising back and forth, SA states my car will be returned to me if parts need to be ordered and I'll have to schedule another appointment upon parts arrival. Seems absurd, as I'm experiencing a misfire at this time. Is it even safe to drive a car with a misfire? 2. Is every car that falls under the campaign entitled to an oil and filter change, even if out of warranty? Does it make a difference if the car had a recent oil and filter change (2,000+ miles ago)? 3. Is every car that falls under the campaign entitled to a new battery, even if out of warranty? Does it make a difference whether the car has the 90 amp battery or the 105 amp one? Seems every 90 amp battery should be replaced! 4. Would any of the parts under this campaign remedy a problem where it's difficult to fill one's gas tank because pump nozzles constantly shut off automatically (a problem I've had since my vent lines were replaced due to the smell of gasoline in my cabin)? What a mess. Thanks. Last edited by dbs600; 01-13-2015 at 02:25 AM.. |

Seams like this Service Bulletin is only for US, spook to my local dealer today (in Sweden) and they could find anything for my 750i F01.

2)The oil and filter change are only if you need your timing chain replaced. This is because they engine has to be removed and opened up to do the job, so the oil and filter needs to be changed regardless of when it was last done. If your timing chain is not replaced there is no oil change required. 3) Batteries are only replaced free on cars still under the USA 4 year maintenance plan. The 90AH ones are being changed to 105 AH on the warranty cars because the 105AH will undergo less stress than the 90AH one. You do not have to replace yours if out of warranty unless you are having low battery issues. A proper Cteck battery charger used every couple weeks will massively help prevent any battery problems by keeping the battery fully charged. 4) No, that is a completely different issue. Sounds like a blocked vent or something.

But if the 90 amp batteries are known to be insufficient, shouldn't they be replaced with the 105 amp ones no matter what? When did BMW switch to 105 amp batteries being factory installed? |

The revised battery replacement policy only protects BMW so customers don't complain of the issue while under warranty, warranties which must be upheld by law. THEN when out of warranty and our batteries die prematurely we are on our own dime, from what I understand. This means there is an obvious design defect and this is wrong. We were not sold cars with the understanding that our batteries would need to be replaced once a year, much less to the tune of $700+. Last edited by dbs600; 01-14-2015 at 04:01 PM.. |

I get the feeling that so many people in the US are having the same problems that it's affecting the reliability ratings. On top of that, potential lawsuits and forced recall actions by the NHTSA. BMW is probably doing this keep themselves from a PR meltdown. |

Often it due to them not having enough parts to issue it everywhere worldwide at the same time. I would expect them to release this worldwide soon. And this way USA customers will be the test cases that will show if the fix works before they send money in other parts where it costs much more to do this.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, for those that are in the SoCal area that have NOT yet taken their vehicles into their local service centers and have questions regarding this recall/s please feel free to PM me about the details that are carried out for such recalls in questions.

Charlie,
My 2011 X5 recently fell out of warranty (11/2014). It has less than 30,000 miles. I had the battery replaced last winter under warranty. I've had the increased battery discharge come on recently. Will BMW provide another battery or do I pay out of pocket? I plan on contacting my local dealership in the next day or so to schedule an appointment. But I would like to know your thoughts first. |
