    if you have one or know someone with one and want to know if its involved in the recall let me know and ill check it
    anyone with one id suggest getting in touch with your nearest dealer quick as booking times in most places are bad enough as it is

    that ones ok eddie

    models effected are ones that were released before the new egrs came on the market so 171 regs will be likely culprits

    yea there is a few sites around that have just turned into waiting areas for cars,bmw Ireland hold most of them and then any dealer with places for them hold on to as many as they can for their regular customers
    we have an area just down the road from us beside the old agnelli building for ours
    most of the f10 models have the coolers available 2 to 3 days now after ordering but its the backlog that's the issue with wait times
    theres 2 or 3 coolers for cars that take 3 weeks or more to come over from germany as they cant keep up with the demand for them
    weve had a few people who wont hand over the cars and keep driving them until the parts in...I think a few videos popped up of them online by the side of the road over the past few months

    chains on the g30 seem to be fine but I haven't seen that many going over the 100k mile marker yet so fingers crossed
    ill be sticking to the older 6 cylinder models as they are far more reliable

    So you're saying that my M57 is now a desirable engine? (as desirable as can be for a diesel )
