Well, the point is if you get it fixed, it should stay fixed and extended warranty is no t needed (in theory)

Is your VIN showing up on the online recall search?

I never got a letter and I just checked online and it says my vehicle currently has no recalls.

Just received 2 letters on Friday (Z & X3). Says there are no parts available yet for the recall and that I will be contacted when the parts become available. My VIN appears on each letter in the top right corner.

Also says the work will take approximately 4 hours to complete.

Yes, my VIN is on there. But when I checked a few weeks ago it also said I had no recalls at the current moment.

The public VIN checker website isn't always up to date. My 335 didn't show any recalls on the recall finder on the BMW USA website but when I took it in for a low mileage oil change over the weekend, there were 2 small recalls that needed to be done.

I would just keep following up with your dealer, since they have the best info

I also got called by the dealership concerning this. They ordered the parts and it was a few weeks' wait, apparently the demand is high. Anyway, it was a quick fix, just lasted a couple of hours. Glad to have got that out of the way.

Finally got both cards booked. One for next week (z) and the other one the following week (x). Getting long cranks on the Z, but no check engine light and the X seems to be fine. They're giving me an extended warranty on the X as well which is nice.

Took my 2011 35i in for service this morning and the service manager said that they were aware of the VANOS recall, but BMW had not yet told them what to do about it. Weird.

I finally got a call from my SA telling me the parts are in, and I should make my appointment to have the recall taken care of.

Finally getting the chance to respond to the recall for Vanos bolt replacement for my 2011 3.0i. Has anyone had any issues with this recall? One local BMW dealer can do the work in four hours. Another wants the car left overnight indicating the engine must be totally cold to torque the Vanos bolts properly. The latter seems to make sense to me. Also concerned over future valve cover leaks if new gasket is not sealed properly. Any feedback is appreciated.
