An aluminum hood being replaced with steel is not even in the same ballpark.
It's called perception and if they replaced them with Aluminum there's not one person who would know the difference on or off track without a visual inspection. If an aluminum one were a better replacement, that's what I would've wanted. |

I contacted my dealer about the recall and they said I need to bring my car in for them to scan my key to order the part. Then it can take up to 5 days for them to receive the part. I don't feel comfortable leaving my car with them for 5 days and asked if I can bring it by for them to order the part and then bring it back again when the part arrives, but they said no. Looks like they'll need it for at least a week.

Got mine replaced. Took 3 days. I came in for normal service, they sent the part over night and took 2 days to replace it with a new CF shaft. Overall it was in the shop for 3 days.

I got this response from my service rep. Getting mine replaced on May 3rd.
"So I emailed my BMW rep and he said the new drive shafts are no longer carbon fiber. The reason why they we're breaking was due to the flexibility that carbon fiber has, as they age they have more play and they would hit underneath the car eventually leading to them breaking. The new ones are going to be steel, they had more issues with them on the M3 than the M4 so the M3's are available right now but the M4's won't be ready until next month or the following."

Just had my service done at BMW Mountain View. They needed my key to order the part. Brought my car back the next week and it took them ~3 days. One of those days was letting it sit overnight — I guess to let the adhesive cure?
