I find it odd that BMW says, "Yeah, you're brakes are likely enough to fail where we need to do a recall, but go ahead and keep driving the car for the next 3+ months until we can get around to fixing yours, good luck!"

Maybe I'm not understanding this right but... Can't you just move over to the shoulder if you get into a limp mode while getting onto the highway? You have enough momentum to move to the right without disturbing following cars. I've never experienced limp more so I'm just trying to understand how limp mode can be dangerous.

My 2013 X3 2.8i is my Wife's Car so we decided to "Park" it for now until this gets sorted out. I hope soon!

They didn't say the brakes would outright fail, just that they could lose the power assist. The brakes will still work you just need to push a little harder with your foot.

^ Agreed however as you probably know, your braking distance immediately changes.

Same thing was with the power steering, people got mad about "I can't steer the car". What the hell? It still steers, just without power assist. Even though I can see that BMW is not quite gentle with these issues, I also wonder what the hell is wrong with modern day people, or modern day reactions to small issues. |

I've had a few instances where I really had to exert extra effort on the brake pedal in order to stop. It's random, but can catch you off guard.
