I ALSO TELEPHONED CUSTOMER SERVICE (CS) AND RECEIVED VERBAL CONFIRMATION THEY RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION. I WAS ADVISED I WOULD BE CONTACTED AND RECEIVE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT WITHIN 3-5 DAYS. AS OF 7/9 I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANYONE. I HAVE CALLED CS 5 MORE TIMES AND HAVE EMAILED CS TWICE. IT APPEARS CS FILTERS CALLS IN COLUMBUS, OH, BUT THE " DECISION MAKER" (MARK) IN NEW JERSEY DOES NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS OR TELEPHONE CALLS (VOICEMAILS LEFT). LAST PHONE CALL TO CS RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT PROCESS TAKES 6-8 WEEKS. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN THOUGH BMW HAS PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED REMEDIES PURSUANT TO RECALL, BMW IS NOT FULLY HONORING AFOREMENTIONED REMEDIES, NOR FULFILLING CHOSEN BUYBACKS IN A TIMELY MANNER. BMW ADVISES THAT CUSTOMERS ELECTING BUYBACK WILL RECEIVE COMPENSATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF AGREEMENT; HOWEVER, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO TIME RESTRAINTS FOR RECEIVING SAID AGREEMENT (POSSIBLY EXTENDING COMPLETION IN HOPES OF HAVING CUSTOMERS ELECT A REPAIR IF/WHEN IT IS ANNOUNCED).

6/11 receive email from bmw advising "stop ride". 6/23 receive email from bmw advising of 4 remedies. quickly learn that dealership cannot perform loaner bike option and dealer refuses to honor trade-in option. 6/25 i email bmw advising i am selecting buyback option. 6/26 receive email from bmw requesting documentation (bill of sale and copy of title). 6/27 received email from bmw confirming receipt of documentation. i also telephoned customer service (cs) and received verbal confirmation they received documentation. i was advised i would be contacted and receive repurchase agreement within 3-5 days. as of 7/9 i still have not been contacted by anyone. i have called cs 5 more times and have emailed cs twice. it appears cs filters calls in columbus, oh, but the " decision maker" (mark) in new jersey does not respond to emails or telephone calls (voicemails left). last phone call to cs received information that process takes 6-8 weeks. it appears that even though bmw has publicly announced remedies pursuant to recall, bmw is not fully honoring aforementioned remedies, nor fulfilling chosen buybacks in a timely manner. bmw advises that customers electing buyback will receive compensation within 30 days of agreement; however, there appears to be no time restraints for receiving said agreement (possibly extending completion in hopes of having customers elect a repair if/when it is announced).
