I am literally stuck with my M8 making payments on two very expensive cars and the person taking my lease sold their car assuming mine was theirs two weeks ago… it’s only bmw doing this.

true but the one dealership that I see a nice M8 Comp is in a Kia dealership ( that has alot of high end vehicles) but the place looks shady. And the car fax has that it was hit in the rear end.

What state is the M8C in that you’re trying to buy? I’m in a very similar situation

I called today, they said they have made a request with the national safety board or something like that, and it could take 3-6 months, but hopefully sooner……

I was told, explicitly, that the reservoir issue was not a safety issue. Now it is? So now what?…for the next 6 months BMW won’t be able to sell used M8s or any other car with an S63 engine? Can that be real? I pinged my SA again on ETA and will ping again on that specific point of safety. Will update if I learn anything new. |

Just got a response from my SA (text): according to him, the reservoir issue is not a safety issue. BMW grounded the cars due to engine failure risk.
My opinion: it makes sense. An engine overheating risks the engine and can be very expensive, but wouldn’t risk the passengers. Meaning, will not cause a sudden acceleration/deceleration, loss of control, etc. And…no ETA yet. |

See an older post. There was a bulletin on 2019/2020 M850i's but never a stop order. Basically it states that the VPCs may have not properly filled the coolant tank. Hit me in mid-2020 but my dealer just topped it off and never an issue since. The N63 and S63 are obviously related but the difference on the latter is why the stop order as the tanks are not the same part as far as I'm aware of.

Do you happen to know if NHTSA has formally called this “expansion reservoir” a safety issue? |

I don’t think so, they just told me they are waiting on their response. I escalated to an executive at BMW N.A., they said they think it’ll be 2 more weeks for the part, which is good news, but who knows if that’s accurate.

Wait… you’re saying they are just replacing the part with the same part? What if my car isn’t even leaking and has no issue??
