My service center refused my request. I even mentioned the Service bulletin# and they said it is preliminary recall and there is no actual recall for my vehicle. Is this true? Do i need to call BMWNA first?

Has anyone in the UK managed to get this done? I've asked my dealer to do it before I collect the car on 1st Sep, but they are denying any knowledge of any such service bulletin.

It's worth mentioning that I spend almost no time stopped at lights for long periods of time and it isn't really saving fuel when the engine shuts off for a four second stop only to have to start right back up again. |

had this done immediately!.. took 2 days total but was only in the shop for 2-3 hrs..something about sending bmw my info which took a whole day so they can send it back vin specific and reprogram/update. um blah blah just get it done! for what its worth, its a great feature that i care less for-it should be an option. every time id forget to deactivate it and my car would cut off at a stop sign or red light i just felt like punching the individual or somebody who decided this would be standard all across.. for those who like it- enjoy. but lets not forget the real motive of why we all got the new f30 with the n20 in it ..for its good looks, good handling, and good mpg without losing engine performance. imo

Going by the number of people jumping at the chance to get the coding done, looks like a lot of folks were not happy with the ASS system...and this is great news for them

this reprogram doesn't affect the engine at all, as in detune the motor or effect throttle response, does it?

Three weeks ago I told my sales guy that I wanted "SI B12 15 12" applied during the prep of my car, when it showed up. I emailed him all of the information about it.
On Saturday (Aug 18), he emails me to let me know that my car will get to Albuquerque on Monday, and I should be able to pick it up on Tuesday. I emailed back, thanking him, and reminding him that I wanted "SI B12 15 12" applied. Yesterday (Aug 20), I go get my first look at my new car. I once again ask to make sure that "SI B12 15 12" is going to be applied, and they guy acts like he has no idea what I am talking about! He says he will have to ask the service department if they know about it. Today he calls me, and says that while the service department does know something about it, they have never done it, and don't have the tools to do it. I will have to bring the car back in later to have it performed --- Oh, and by the way, I should expect to have to pay standard labor charges for however long it takes to do that programming.

After telling you it was a recall just to get you to leave them alone (they'd already exceeded the daily limit on "We can't do it until the Moon and Jupiter align" as well as four other let's-make-something-up-to-cover-the-fact-that-we're-idiots excuses), you would still consider taking your car back to them? After that, you'd trust them to hook up your car to a computer and apply a fix that changes the vehicle order stored in the car? (Read the SIB carefully -- it notes that this reprogramming gets added to the original configuration of the car.) You'd let them mess around with the guts of a highly-digital car? Not me, man. I'd drive your F30 as fast as you dare somewhere else.

Hi guys, I need help with this problem ASAP! I'm supposed to take delivery of my car today with the AS/S recoded but my CA just emailed me saying the service guy said it would cost 299.99 for the recoding. What should I do/say??
