7 series halted from delivery according to my dealer.

Hey BMW of Greenwich just told me there's a stop sale order on the 7 series. No idea why but zero can be delivered currently.

Anyone have info?

Read the link mamafufu posted above.

It only affects cars built from Sept. 1 through December 11, 2015. Cars built after that are available to sale. When I was searching for a car, however, newer builds were few and far between while stop sale cars were plentiful. I snagged an unsold unit inbound on a ship while the car I originally tried to buy is still sitting on the lot awaiting the airbag control module to be replaced, as far as I know.

Yep quite disappointing and a true disaster for BMW. Of the fifteen plus cars I located all but one at one particular dealership were not for sale despite a guarantee that each one of these was recall free.

Got a call yesterday from a dealer I had contacted about a recall car saying the recall repair had been completed. It will be interesting to see if BMW throws some big incentives out so dealers can recoup some interest money and unload some cars.

I found one here (here being MN, Motorwerks BMW) that had the recall done.

It was a Carbon Black Metallic with Cognac interior.

Gorgeous car. I just had a different idea and this time around. Would not settle
