I just got the recall letter in the mail two days ago, but it’s supposed to be some software update and not a starter replacement. I would be curious to see if they cover your car
Had the same issue yesterday, and I also received email with recall. Today had a call from dealer and the said that BMW will not cover starter replacement under this recall, because it was just software update(( but in the email it was mentioned that it can cause fire in the engine compartment. Will call BMW directly to clarify details. I am from Canada.
Thanks for sharing, same issues here, got the recall letter then went to dealership for service. Apparently vehicle just dead in dealer when they try to drive to inside of the workshop. Been told only for software upgrade and not for replacement. Contact BMW Canada been told same things. Sadly have to pay out of pocket for 2k for get it fixed.
That starter harness plug and ground wire connector is super close together on mine. Easy to break the plastic plug surround 🤦♂️

@@eugenekarachevtsev4735have you get feedback from BMW Canada, same issue here.
Do you need to bind starter to the car from software perspective? Or it just starter swap?
@@eugenekarachevtsev4735 nope, just straight forward swap, no coding necessary
Where did you order your new starter from?
