Seems a bit weird as it is identical to the F90 M5 and is basically the same ZF8 sold by a whole heap of brands in a whole heap of cars.

There is a stop sale for the F90 M5 too, for the very same reason, the transmission wiring harness

From what I understand there is no fix available right now - ZF has not be able to come up with a solution but as long as cars are running, owners dont care so BMW is still skating by nicely!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how this might affect upcoming sales after the New Year? I imagine it might hurt sales, but to what degree?
Better lease rates? Price drops? The two at my local dealer appeared stagnant before this issue and obviously still haven't sold. The convertible looks like it hasn't moved since being unloaded from the truck. I am looking at picking one up in the spring and hope this might work in my favor, though I feel badly for anyone on the other side of the issue... |

I saw an article in Motor1 stop sale until February? But have ppl actually taken delivery of the affected cars? Sounds like it just confirming if anyone actually got a car that's affected by recall

Recall fix is out. Transmission wiring harness was rubbing, which could eventually wear through. The fix is to re-route the harness if it has 6 miles or less. If more, they install a new harness in the new position. Just had all of the M5/M8's taken care of in my inventory.
