I know this might not be the brightest idea but we absolutely fell in love with a 2023 X1 at our local BMW dealer. it only has 17,000 miles and was used as an executive car for the dealership. And the price is right at 36k for a CPO. We already put money down on it and we are going to finish the financing before the rates change at the end of the month. My question is how long could this last? I know it’s been going on since February without any real resolution but the stop sale didn’t happen till August. Are we thinking this could actually last through the end of the year? Or longer?

If your saying that they will not release the vehicle to you until they can fully repair the parts to resolve Open Recall: #24V-104:457 INTEGRATED BRAKE, I’d say unless dealer can commit in writing to fixing the vehicle NLT one month from signing date I would not purchase it. The price/value of the vehicle will continue to decrease for every month it can’t be released, regardless of miles.

Several dealers in my area still are not saying when they expect parts from BMW to install my 2024 X1 28i. Since mid-August the statue for my vin# says “Remedy Not Available”. Luckily I’ve not experience any brake problems so I’m still able to drive it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 that no failure messages pop up about brakes.

[Taylor-Made]

Damn, not what I was hoping to hear, but also what I expected. Do we know how long this could be dragged out for ?

[markronnie]

No, the several dealers I’ve called either don’t know how BMW is prioritizing who gets parts or will not say.

The one thing for sure, BMW allocated the parts first to those vehicles that were in production or just finished & not yet on a transport carrier. 2nd- I’ve heard that vehicles that were notified through the IDrive system of a brake problem got parts sooner than those, like mine that had not yet had a brake issue. I guess that makes sense when your talking about such a huge recall that’s effects many BMW series, not just the X1 & X2’s

Good luck.

I am in a similar situation. I booked a 2024 X1 and it's been almost 3 weeks. No idea about the delivery date.

I am in the UK and put a deposit down on a second hand X1 on 28th June. The car is still at the dealers waiting for the recall to be completed. I have no idea when it will be completed.

Given that you still don’t have the vehicle in your possession & it’s been 4 months. I’d go back to ghost dealer & renogocite the price. I’d start off with a $750 to $1000 reduction for every month you haven’t had in your possession.

If they can’t commit to it. I would not walk away I WOULD RUN 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃
Just ride off into the sunset & don’t look back.

In the real market place the value of the vehicle will continue to decrease for every month it can’t be released, regardless of miles.

My impression of how they are fixing this integrated brake problem is they are upgrading the software to detect if your car is affected by it. And then only if you get the notification, you will need the part replaced.

Or does this only apply to cars already delivered?

This would be good to know. It would surly expedite the stop sales on the used X1’s more quickly. I was under the impression there was a software update that would notify BMW if you had a brake failure to put you higher on the list. Either way does anyone know if this stop sale could be resolved simply from a software standpoint?

@Taylor-Made I am in the same situation in NY. (apologies for making a similar post I did not see yours!)

Please share any info as you receive it. I also found the car I wanted. So frustrating to not be able to close the deal and drive off. I may go shopping other brands this weekend.

[flippo-hippo]

I had been expecting it to be just 10 days or so. But I now fear it will be much longer. I will shop elsewhere for sure. There are other cars (and many that the world has not declared to be ugly!)

My wife isn’t thrilled with the idea of waiting but I don’t think any other cars could compare at this point. We drove a handful of Mercedes GLA/GLB and they just don’t compare. The engins were so noisy. They have a bad habit of exploding. So much so Mercedes extended the head warranty to 15years 150,000 miles. Plus it didn’t ride nearly as nice as the X1. There’s not much else she likes in our price range as a “Starter” luxury suv. So for now we wait. Luckily we are fortunate enough to have an extra car in the meantime.

[flippo-hippo]

Perhaps a pre-owned Mercedes 300C coupe?

I want a new car though.

[flippo-hippo]

I love the exterior of the Volvo x40 but the interior rots.

[FlashMonkey929]

Volvo would have been a much stronger contender for the X1 when I was shopping around, but the only dealer in the state here SUCKS. I don't really care too much for the interior layout and the infotainment system, but it's a relatively nice albeit understated exterior.

No offense, but it's an SUV. Other good deals will appear. With the number of "iffy" elements to your message, there's a lot of risk for this not being the happy transaction you would like to have. My comment is just that - a comment, but do give careful consideration before pulling the trigger.

We did decide to hold on the financing although we did already put a 1k “non refundable deposit” we’re going to wait it out a few more weeks and see if we even have an update. Then reassess. Thank you for the insight though

Recent NHTSA filing. In past three months BMW has only serviced 10,000 of 250,000+ recalled vehicles in the US. What a disaster.

Do you think that was from the original recall that ended up not working? I’m still seeing no remedy

[flippo-hippo]

I assume it says that (remedy not avail) on the official record because they are not yet ready for owners to bring their cars in. But honestly no clue.

At that rate it could take until about 2030 before they get to fix all 250k+ on the recall.


If NHTSA did not mandate recall repairs within a specific timeframe, they should have. I’ve had 20 vehicles in the past & never had to wait months to get a specific date to fix a recall. This being my first BMW let’s just say, I’m not impressed at all with their customer focus.

I Compleetly agree. Communication is key. Give me a date.. even if I don’t like it, I rather that then keep checking the recall page every day to figure out when there is a resolution so I can finally get my car that’s been sitting at the dealer
