BMW Drivers side air bag recall July 2015 letter

[Oli77]

Was just told the inside of my tires is really worn on all four. Thank you for noticing.

[Oli77]

Took one hour.

Took one hour.

I was told I had to leave the car there for the day... And I have to pay fees if I wanna get a loaner

My dealer is garbage.

[johnrando]

Yup, BS. Should not be fees for a loaner. Never seen a dealer do that.

As people have stated above, they are getting faster, the more they do.

The guy told me that initially they scheduled for 2.5 hours to take care of recall. Now, they can be as fast as 30 minutes per car.

The more they do, the faster they get a it so maybe you should wait Alexandre.

I did learn that one of my tires is a 215, while the other 3 are 225!!!!! It's been that way since I bought the car and only found out today.

They probably have ALOT of poorly maintained E46s coming in for the recall that will need a long list of needed repairs. They will consider this an opportunity to provide the list to an owner and making some extra money on more repairs. More Savvy owners like us will either have BS lists, lists that we already knew about, or lists that we will use to do repairs ourselves.

The thing is I booked an inspection at the same time! They're running a $29.95 special (I do it every year, take the $3-4k estimate they give me, and DIY everything) that usually takes two hours. Add 45min for the recall and I should be able to stay there the whole time and work while waiting. But no! Take the bus and come back tomorrow. Haha

At Don Jacobs BMW dealership in Lexington KY. They are doing the airbag recall thing. Said it should be thirty minutes to one hour...

Mab there isn't a single e46 on this lot!.

I thought BMW dealers weren't allowed to have cars on the lot (for sale) older than X years? 10?

I've seen some older cars on BMW lots before. They just can't certify them.
