435i Recall

impossiblesrock · 06-27-2014, 01:51 PM

I got a call today from Crevier BMW stating there was a recall on 2014 435i's involving a "water drain". Have any of you heard about this? I searched around and could not find anything.

New news to me. I haven't heard anything though I don't have the best relationship with my dealership.

If it's the grommet, it's known. Removed mine when I had the PPK installed. There is a thread or three on this.

I haven't heard anything either.. Does it affect all 435s?

That looks like it! Interesting that I had not heard about it yet. Thanks for posting that. I do believe it affects all 2014 435's.

No doubt it depends on build date

Dealers are not swapping drain plugs. BMWNA is telling them to simply remove it.

Yes, had this performed on my car. Wasn't even sure what they were talking about, but saw it on the paperwork.

I know. I was in a hurry and didn't proof read.
