Hopefully you received a letter in the mail earlier this year or late last year from the law firm filing the lawsuit.
I am on the fence if I should keep my BMW X1 with ~50k miles on it or sell it simply because of this issue. This is my first BMW and this problem is making me hesitant on if I would buy another. I honestly love driving my BMW X1 and luckily it hasn't had any major issues yet.... Just my 2 cents. |
I can't do that because I'm in Canada. No love for us from BMW up here. But apparently, word has it that there will be news this coming June from BMW whether there will be a potential recall or not (which could be world wide)....so I'm definitely holding out until then. If no recall. I'll be in the same boat...not sure what I'll do... I love my car, and especially this model year for it's more raw driving experience.... it's paid off, so I might just see if I can work something out with my warranty company and my mechanic and take it in the budd and do that change anyway... we'll see. I'll keep everyone updated.
