2013 M6 Recall
FYI, just took my M6 to dealer for service, when I discovered there is a recall that was recently issued. Concerns turbo's melting some cooling lines. Have to install a heat shield in between. Says they will need car 2-3 days due to extensive work of removal of turbo's. Thought this was weird since I never received notice via mail. I confirmed with another dealer here in AZ though. Anyone else dealing with this?

Interesting... I just hit up my Service Rep at BMW to find out more about this because this is the first I have heard about it.

Interesting thanks for the info.
Side note. Does anyone with a 2013 have issues with the steering wheel rattling when driving on the freeway or at speeds anove 65. I feel like im wrestling with a bear when im driving at hog speeds cause the wheels vibrates so much. |

No it's not required to remove the turbos! all they need is to remove the plastic cover. I had my car done and this is the result:

I am not sure if you need to do this with the H&Rs (maybe ask Twitch on here) but to get mine to sit down all the way I had to remove the white bump stop that is on the shock. When I left it in place the shocks were literally sitting on the bump stop, the ride quality was bouncy, and the car didn't lower down all the way. Once I removed the bump stop I was good to go. Also, I don't experience any bottoming out at all. Post some pics once you get everything mounted up and installed. Brian |

Nope , no mods at all...i have to stop by their shop one day, they want to see if my set up will fit an M6 that is lowered on H&R springs...don't forget I'm lowered on KW V3's, maybe they are different than the H&R or KW sleeves.

I had the recall performed this week. It was done in one day though.
They did all of the software updates and... I am not sure if it is the cold weather or the software updates, but my cars shifts much harder now.

I have performed the recall 3 weeks ago, also the software update:
- the first few hundred km/mile the car shifts strange, but now i am really happy - really smooth and fast - best thing after SW update: B&O blue lighting - now it will light up really bright - |

I went to the dealership today and they see the recall bulletin. I have scheduled that appointment in two weeks. However, they said there are no software updates for my car. What do I tell them regarding the software update?
