The original recall was for cars built between March 2007 and August 2011, so I thought both of my 2006 registered cars were outside of the recall.

My 2010 E90 is due a recall, according to the DVLA. I phoned up Sytner on Monday, and the guy I spoke to took my details, and I'm now waiting for the very prompt call back I was promised.
It took them something like 6 months and several phone calls before I got the airbag in my E46 replaced, so it's probably still a bit early to expect anything. The guy did say that they were a bit short of the relevant parts, for some reason, so there's that too...
Had no problems when I took my E46 in for airbag recall. In fact they said that there was also a separate recall for the passenger airbag so they did both. Originall said it would take all day when I booked it in on the phone but when I arrived in the morning they said it would only take a couple of hours.It took them something like 6 months and several phone calls before I got the airbag in my E46 replaced, so it's probably still a bit early to expect anything.

Don't know if they actually changed anything or just plugged in a diagnostics machine and said "yes, everything o.k." but the service was excellent.

Who initiated the booking? You or BMW?
Also have you already had the B+ cable replaced?
I called them after reading this thread. They didn’t mention the b+ cable. Mines a 2006 so I think it falls outside the cable recall. Also have you already had the B+ cable replaced?
With how old mine is now, it’s been a while since Bmw have had their hands on it so I wasn’t expecting them to call.

Thanks. Hope it all goes well, and do report back. Mine is 2009MY, so expecting to get both done. Not looking forward to my wiring getting open heart surgery though, so I may just wait until they get around to getting in touch first. Not due for my annual oil change until December, when ideally they can have it for the recalls too. Hopefully the car will stay in one piece until then. :-/With how old mine is now, it’s been a while since Bmw have had their hands on it so I wasn’t expecting them to call.
Just booked my 57 plate e91 in at Bowker in Preston on the 28th, both recalls being dealt with in one day apparently. Dealer also said I could have a courtesy car for the day, we'll see whether that actually happens. To their credit, the woman on the other end of the phone was nothing but polite and helpful.

Still waiting to hear from BMW on the recalls. Three weeks was the time frame BMW allowed themselves after ‘Watchdog’ broadcast.
Very unimpressed.
BMW probably waiting on the DVLA. Very unimpressed.

Was the one in Cobham. Nice showroom and staff pretty helpful. The Surbiton one always seems like organised chaos!
Cobham always seems to do well on owner feedback. Shame the same can't be said about Croydon, at least by me. Unfortunately, they are simply too conveniently located.Well, it's arrived. Although dated 06th June, it came through my letterbox this morning exactly 7 days later.
It's only for the Battery +ve cable replacement work though, and not the heater blower regulator harness.
As they state that they will write again when parts are available to do the upgrades, I'll just continue to sit tight and see what transpires.
