530dMsport delivery delay UK
Hi Guys
So I ordered a 530d a few months ago,and was expecting delivery next week. Today I received a phone call saying that there was a safety recall on a seatbelt module and my car cannot be released?.. Im apparently goin to now receive a replacement vehicle in the meantime (probibly a 120d!) until its ready to be released?? Anyone else had this in the uk? I find it a bit strange as iv seen a few 67 plates driving around yet they only came out on the 1st sept .. so didnt those dealers get the memo of the recall?!?! |

I just had an interesting chat with a BMW Genius. I wanted to check the order status for my 530d M Sport. He started off by mentioning a delay but quickly went off that. So, there must be something going on behind the scenes.

if you have your vin wonder if its the same factory where there is a delay or whether its global?
should ask the genuis what the delay is, if they dont know ask them to find out. wont get the car any quicker but at least you will know why. |

Doesn't look like its all G30's, just an unlucky proportion. Delays like that must be agonising. Not sure which models are affected, but I'm hoping that cars due to be built won't suffer now that the issue has been discovered, as I have a 540i on order. |

I got my 530i delivered in June so i take it this may be affected too? I do some mileage as i travel from north east to london. Also with kids too and this is slightly worrying. Anything else from anyone else especially in the north east would be appreciated? Thank you

Hi Guys, I was informed by the dealer that the bmw had lifted the recall and my car was deliveried yesterday as planned. So could possibly only be a very small ammount of cars affected.
Hopefully this helps and dont cause anyone any worries. |

If anyone is concerned for a car they already have, other than your dealer, BMW UK con 03705050160 can also tell you,
I rang up just to confirm if my car was affected, its not although they have a recall listed against it for something to do with teh gear selector and programming. So sounds like a software update of some sort. |
