I Received a "Voluntary Emissions Recall" notice from BMWNA for my 2004 E60. Called my dealer to arrange to have the Recall performed and they told me it would take 2 to 3 days to complete this. It's only a software update, so why should it take so long. They said they have to update all the "modules" whatever that means. Has anyone in the Forum had this recall preformed. If so, could you please let me know what's involved and how long it actually took to get it done. I'm more then a little concerned with leaving my car at the dealers for so long. Thank you.

[/quote]Aparantely this is a second recall on V8s. It should be an overnight thing, Not 3 days. They are probably just slamed with only one machine to do the work on.

he's not alone. I got my letter a little over a week ago. Going in early Jan, told this one "takes awhile", though that was not further defined. Looking forward to the Enterprise Kia I'll likely get as my loaner.

I had the 15k service, emissions recall, seat heater recall, wipers blades done this week. I had requested that the tech remove the phone cradle to make the storage bin larger, but he said that wires would protrude from the parts remaining. They could not duplicate the acceleration lag or the cd reseting to track 1. This work took 3 days. Toyota Camry loaner.
Thanks to this forum, it seems that I know more about the car than the service advisor!
