Update:
posted on another forum:
I was in my local BMW dealership at the weekend, the parts manager told me the kits come in mid/late this week, the kits have over 30 parts in them.

Quote from: converted on May 21, 2012, 05:29:46 PM hi guys, just got back from my dealer, THE NEWS IS NOT GOOD. IT WILL BE ANOTHER 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE ANY PARTS ARRIVE FOR THE CONROD FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's three weeks today i got the call, if i havent heard anything by wednesday im going to start kicking off in the middle of the show room ranting about 13k plus down the drain. ( no way im going to get rid of bike but they dont know that) seems being polite isnt getting anyone anywhere, so lets see what sweeteners they offer when they want to shut me up in front of their potential customers. Like others ive had other bikes recalled and actually admire bike manufactors for identifying and sorting problems rather than pretending there not there,but this is taking the piss

latest from S1krruk forum:
Re: S1k Recall - Official!
Spoke to my dealer at the weekend and they have almost enough to do a couple of bikes, the only thing they are missing now are the gaskets. I asked if it was an engine out job and they said that BMW had only given them 4 hours for the work so they will tilt the engine in the frame to get to the Conrod bolts. Hopefully it wouldn't be much longer.

The last I heard they were calling customers bikes in from 3rd week in June onwards.
so yeah, I'd have thought all have been done by now I'm sure.
