I went to Korea last month everyone treats bmw like potential bomber

Could not tell them i have a M4

Its so significant in Korea that these diesel models keep catching on fire

Does BMW know how to make diesel cars?

I have F21 lci, 120d B47 engine... On brand new car it was put on complete supersprint exhaust + downpipe, wagner IC and remap... Egr function was deleted (it's in closed position)... No issue so far with engine... Everything run like day one... Fuel consumtion is 6.4l/100km, i think its very good because car is proper stage 2, xdrive and rolling on 19" tyres

Hmm... I had the EGR replaced on my G31 with the B47 engine a couple of weeks ago.
It was manufactured in may 2017... I expect the recall to grow.

Potential EGR module recall for US cars

I have US version 2014 x5 35d. Last year, I temporarily relocated to S. Korea and brought my car. As you may know, there is a serious fire issue recently and the authority is about to impose driving ban on affected BMW diesel vehicles that did not get EGR module replaced. There is a suspicion that BMW Korea manipulated the software to pass the emission test which caused this problem but BMW AG says that it is a completely hardware issue: they have a flawed EGR module on their cars.

Today I stopped by one of the BMW official service centers and get my car examined. They found my EGR module starts showing the symptom of malfunctioning and told me to leave the car at the center for the module replacement. This incident has two implications: 1) Perhaps it is really hardware problem that affect ANY diesel models within a certain period of production year 2) If you own a diesel vehicle in US, you guys are not free from this problem.

P.S. I checked NHTSA website with VIN of my car but I could find any recall notification. BMW NA must response to this incident.
