Great. Me too.
My 2012 328i Sport with 72k miles just went in for service on Friday to have the brake fluid changed. They found an issue with a wiring harness, so they had it a few extra days. Today (Wednesday) I got a call back from the dealer, telling me that they took it for a test drive, and the brakes failed... same story as elsewhere, hard pedal. They're saying that the vacuum pump was sucking oil out of the crankcase and it's ruined. New vacuum pump, valve cover, gaskets, hoses, etc. $1600+. Not sure, but I think the car had a Feb 2012 manufacturing date.
The dealer's people are decent guys, and were going to send an email to BMW asking if they can assist somehow. Then I started googling and see all the problems that folks have had, and that there was a recall for vacuum pump failures. What should I be pressing BMW for? Any advice?
